    The document describes an experiment to investigate the response of seedlings to external stimuli. The experiment set up includes seedlings, moist cotton wool, a wire gauge, and anhydrous calcium chloride. The two stimuli being investigated are sunlight and moisture. It is predicted that after several days the shoots will grow towards the sunlight and the roots will grow towards the moisture. The function of the anhydrous calcium chloride is to absorb moisture from the air. The growth response shown by the shoots is called phototropism and the roots is called geotropism.
