Previously on my blog, I have posted all the observations for each day.
This is the table i have created for the final results...
I have also created a line graph showing the results (:

What's Photosynthesis ?
Through research, I have discovered that many theories say that plants grow best in the outdoor environment because sunlight is exposed more in the outdoor environment.
As, sunlight is a electromagnetic energy that is reflected upon plants, which lead to reactions that take place to store energy in the formation of sugar molecules.
Plants grow by making their own food, this process is called ‘photosynthesis’, meaning to put together with light. The chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and from the
sunlight, the plant combines carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar and oxygen.

Results ...
Due to bad internet connections, I wasn't able to blog for a week or so.
But during those days/weeks, I have been recording results and observing the plants growth.
DAY 3
WINDOW: All three plants have been growing slowly and been sprouting from the soil. From day 1, the plants worked from 0cm to 0.4cm. The small leaves that are branching off the seed are green, and look healthy. I believe they have been growing excellently because of the sunlight and water that is provided.
CUPBOARD: These plants have been growing the most rapid, but have no sign of green in the plant. The plants have grown from 0.5cm to 0.7cm since day 2. Due to no sunlight the plant has been growing yellow and not green. When I researched the mustard seed, it was said that mustard seed grows most rapid in the dark, but the case was that there was no sunlight to provide chlorophyll to the plant.
OUTDOORS: Growing slowly is the outdoor plants. As a result, they grew only 0.1cm from day 2, this makes up of 0.3cm for the plants growth. The three plants have been sprouting a little but have no sign of tallness. Although plants are green, the soil is absorbed very quickly within one day. I think that the plant is absorbing a lot more water as the sunlight dries up the soil, causing the plant to grow slower or even deteriorate.

Internet shut down
My internet was recently shut down for the last couple of weeks due to bad connection and connection failure. This means I must catch up with all my blogs, and there will be more information recorded on this blog from now on.

Growing ...
Through the past few days, I have examined the plants growth.
DAY 1:
MUSTARD seedling did not emerging. ADDED 30ml of water to each plant.
DAY 2:
The seedlings started to emerge from the soil. Small stems started to form at the end of the seed. ADDED 5ml, the water was not absorbing fast enough, so I applied less water.
The outdoor plants seemed to absorb the water faster than the window sill and cupboard plants, this was because of photosynthesis.
The Window sill plants emerged slower than the cupboard and outdoor plants.
As I observed the cupboard plants, I found that they were emerging faster than both the cupboard and outdoor plants. The H2O was still visible and was not yet absorbed by the air, as there was no available sunlight.

Planting away ...
I have just purchased all my equipment for the experiment.
This includes:
-cups
-mustard seeds
-measuring spoons
I have also set 3 plants in each environment;
Outdoors, on a window sill and in a cupboard.
This will make the experiment more reliable and more accurate.
Planting Process:
1. Laid my nine foam cups on a table.
2. Added soil (from backyard) to the foam cups (half way)
3. Distributed mustard seedlings into each cup (spread apart)
4. Watered 30ml of water into each cup (using a measuring spoon)
5. Labelled plants 1, 2 and 3 on each cup
6. Stored cups outdoors (sunlight), window sill (sunlight and no sunlight) and in a cupboard (no sunlight)
This includes:
-cups
-mustard seeds
-measuring spoons
