GMU:DIY Biolab “Driver’s License”/Xiaomei Xie

From Medien Wiki

I am going to make a work named "Bean sprouts lantern ",to use the small iron wires made some different shapes frame, then use strings to make some small "windows ",then let bean sprouts grow in a wet cotton in it,as days goes by, the sprouts will come out of the "windows ", it looks like a lantern.with this experienment ,I am aimed at exploring the growth pattern in three-dimension.

change ideas:after many thoughts, i finally change my idea about :to explore what will be a influence for the Mungbeans sprouts.

pre-experiment: to explore a relative normal environment for Mungbeans sprouts as the standard experiment. experiment progress : step 1:put a mount of Mungbeans in the water for 24hours. DSC04853.JPG step 2:to set up a experiment facility :

       1)container:a flat bottom has a hole container, a block of wet cloth on the bottom;
       2)temprature:control the constant temperature-put the contanier on the hinter
       3)light:normal light with a change of day and night; use a  cloth to always cover on one half of the container

and set up a no light environment.

       4)water: watering them 2-3 times a day 36 degree around running water.

step 3:consequence:

       1.in  72 hours, the sprouts reach up to 10cm around .
        2.light  has no obvious influence  on the length of sprouts ,but the color of their leaves .
        3.water is important in the growth of  sprouts .

next step: 1.use the pre-experiment as the contrast one , and do the 3 different experiment to detect the Mungbeans's growth in different environment :

A:standard one 1. container:container with hole and wet cloth on the bottom 2. water:water beans sprouts 2-3 times a day with 36 degree around running water 3. temperature :put it on the hinter control it around 36-40 degree's 4. light :changeable light and night

B: contrast with A in temprature: 1. container:container with hole and wet cloth on the bottom 2. water:water beans sprouts 2-3 times a day with 36 degree around running water 3. temperature :put it on outdoor control it around 0-5 degree's 4. light :changeable light and night

C: contrast with A in nutrition liquid : 1. container:container with hole and wet cloth on the bottom 2. water:water beans sprouts 2-3 times a day with 36 degree around with some agar in water 3. temperature :put it on the hinter control it around 36-40 degree's 4. light :changeable light and night

D: contrast with A in light : 1. container:container with hole and wet cloth on the bottom 2. water:water beans sprouts 2-3 times a day with 36 degree around with running water 3. ttemperature :put it on the hinter control it around 36-40 degree's 4. light :contact light with a table lamp
