Hello! I am here to update you guys on what the Small Fries has been up to today!
We've finally started on our project! Even though it might be a little late, I still think it's alright. We could learn from mistakes the other groups has done and we can avoid it, that way we would not waste too much time.
The Small Fries gathered together again ever since the June holidays this morning! At first, there was practically nothing for us to do. Fortunately, Mr Goh turned up just in time to explain to us about the needs of plants etc. His help came in very handy for us! With the knowledge we got from him, we were ready and clear of what we had to do.
The small fries discussed about how to go about things since there are some changes to be made.
Firstly, we had decided on putting 2 fertilizers to one plant
Our plant died AGAIN so we had to decide on getting a new one but the question was, which plant was the most durable?
We had to use 1g of the 'fertilizers' and not the 30ml we decided on. The 'fertilizers' would then be mixed with 1 litre of water.
We decided to start on the water for our solution & at the same time, Mr Goh helped us in get a new set of plants.
After all of that done, we were still a long way from the time the laboratory would open and we were starving. Actually just Dinah and Vikki, so we headed to Causeway Point for lunch. By the time we were back to school, it was just nice because, the laboratory just opened.
When we reached the laboratory, we were all set to go! The lady there helped us in the dilution of the fertilizers and stuff.
First we used the Electronic Balance to measure 1g of each fertilizer.
Nitrogen [n]
Phosphate [p]
Potassium [k]
After that, the lady introduced to us this thing called Magnetic Stirrer. It helps to stir the fertilizer and combine with the water & after that we pour the solution back into the bottle.
After that we started to put our fertilizers into the containers.
Here is our solution:
Container A which is the with all 3 fertilizers. [ 150ml of Nitrogen, 150ml of Phosphate, 150ml of Potassium]
Container D with 2 fertilizers only. [ 150ml of Nitrate, 150ml of Potassium ]
Container F with 2 fertilizers also. [ 150ml of Potassium, 150ml of Phosphate ]
Container V with 2 fertilizers. [ 150ml of Nitrate and 150ml of Phosphate ]
Container ? with no fertilizers, just water.
We shifted from the Biology Lab and back to Mr Kwok's home room since there's much sunlight. Overall, today was great! The new Proposal form will be posted tomorrow.
Goodnight!
