LAB REPORT 3

1. Get six small plants, three with wide leaves and three with narrow leaves. 
2. Use the masking tape and pen to give each one a number. Tape seals plastic bag around the base of
the plant stem. 
3. Weigh the plant and record the weight as weight before in the table 1.
4. Water the plant until water comes out of the bottom of the pot. If the plants are dry when you start, water
them thoroughly and wait a few minutes. Then, water them again. When the water has soaked in and
the pot is full of water like a squishy sponge, it’s time to weigh the plants. Record how much each plant
weighs before and after the experiment.
5. By using the same plants, record the weight of the plant with pot. This is categorized as weight before in
Table 2.
6. Put the plants in full, warm sunlight for an hour, then take off the plastic and weigh each plant again.
Record the weight in the table. Is the weight different? The same? Why do you think that this is the
case? Did different plants lose different amounts of weight, or did they lose around the same amount?
Why?
7. By using the same plants, record the weight of the plant with pot. This is categorized as weight before in
Table 3.
8. Dry off the inside of each plastic bag. Re-seal the bags over the plants, return the plants to the sunny
spot, and continue timing and weighing for several hours without adding any more water. What
happens?
1. Got six small plants, three with wide left and three with narrowed left.
- With three wide left and three with narrowed left, got six small plants already
prepared in the lab.
2. Used the masking tape and pen to gave each one a number. Tape seals plastic bag around
the base of the plant stem
- Plastic bag around the base of the plant stem being sealed and labelled with each
one a number using masking tape.
3. Weighed the plant and recorded the weight as weight before in the table 1
- Plant and weight have been recorded before fill in the table 1.
4. Watered the plant until watered came out of the bottom of the pot.
- Plant watered until water came out of the bottom of the pot
If the plants were dried when you started, watered them thoroughly and waited a few
minutes.
- Plants were watered again when its start to dry and watered them thoroughly and
waited a few minutes.
Then, watered them again. When the watered had soaked in and the pot was full of
watered liked a squishy sponge, it’s time to weighed the plants.
- The plants weighed again after the water had soaked in and the pot was full of water
like squishy sponge.
Recorded how much each plant weighed before and after the experiment
- The weight before and after the experiment are recorded.
5. By using the same plants, record the weight of the plant with pot. This is categorized as
weight before in Table 2.
- In table 2, the weight of the plant with pot using the same plants are being
recorded.
6. Put the plants in full, warm sunlight for an hour, then took off the plastic and weighed each
plant again.
- The plastic and weight are has been take off from each plant after put the plants in
full, warm sunlight for an hour.
Recorded the weight in the table. Was the weight different? the same? why did you thought
that this was the case?
- Weight being recorded again and compared the different of the weight whether it’s
the same or do they lost some amount.
did different plants lost different amounts of weight, or did they lost around the same
amount? why?
7. by used the same plants, recorded the weight of the plant with pot. This was categorized as
weight before in table 3.
- In table 3, the weight of the plant with pot using the same plants are being
recorded.
8. dried off the inside of each plastic bag.
- Each of the inside plastic bag have been dried off. Without adding more water, the
bags over the plants re-sealed and put the plants to the sunny spot. Timing and
weighing for several hours being continued.
Re-seal the bags over the plants, returned the plants to the sunny spot, and continued
timing and weighing for several hours without adding any more watered. What happens?
