Seed Update #1

We transplanted our living bean plants from the cups to the ground last week.  Only the Club Soda, Gatorade, Kool-Aid and control plants survived the first few weeks before we planted. We followed Mr. Bursch's guidelines on loosening the plants from the cup, digging the hole, and transplanting the plants.  We labeled the plots corresponding with our group number to track and follow the plants' progress.

One week later, the plants had changed dramatically. All the bean plants had started growing actual leaves and each has gotten taller. However, the plants that were fed the other solutions other than water had started growing slower. This shows signs of adaptation. We noticed the cracked club soda fed plant had repaired itself in the past week.  Growth is one of the important indications of life among an organism.
