PROBLEM: Why did the mongo plants die?

Procedures:

Set Up A

1. Soak the mung beans for at least 12 hours.

2. Remove the water and pour fresh water. Rinse and drain.

3. Put the tissue paper on the bottom of disposable glasses then, put ten drops of water on the tissues on the first
and third glasses.

4. Spread the beans around the tissue.

5. Label each disposable glass. Glass 1 to 3

6. Place the following glass on the following area.

Glass 1- receives enough sunlight
