Introduction My experiment design will use three pots planted with same quantity or amount of the following: mung seeds, soil, goat’s manure as the natural fertilizer, water, and air. Only differs on the sunlight exposure of each pot. The pots are named Pot A whereas has a direct sun exposure, Pot B where placed in a shade but still can be reach by the sun, and Pot C who has placed in the dark place with zero sunlight. The mung seeds are planted, and the final data or observations with findings are be taken after two weeks since it was planted. Objective: a) To test the proposed hypothesis. b) To observe and gain data for the fulfillment of this activity. c) To have a better understanding and appreciation of the result of the absence of the variable, the sunlight exposure of each pot. Materials and Resources Needed : Mung Bean Seeds Goat’s Manure Pot Soil water Measuring Tools Empty Box Pen and papers for labeling Proposed hypothesis

After the seeds planted, the germination process will take place after

twenty-four hours since it wasn’t soaked in water to germinate. Two days after

the seeds starts to have roots and the next day after the sprout comes. In the

fourth day the leaves come out of the mung beans seed shell and the next few

days it starts to grow it’s stem.

Upon the first few days you are not able to differentiated the difference

since it’s just sprouting, also because they are given the same amount of water,

soil, and fertilizer but after five days you can see truly the perks of the pot with

sunlight exposure. Question; how could I say such a thing? Well, all pot grew and

sprouted the same time especially to the Pot A and B but Pot C also manage to

catch up with their growth. Since Pot C don’t have or had least sunlight among

them the water and the moist of the soil won’t evaporate so the plants also grew

well because of the richness of water.

Fast forward after two weeks, the mung beans on the different pots has

shown some characteristics that’s unlike each pot due to the absence or control

of sunlight. In the next pages are the effects and characteristics of the mung

beans with direct, controlled, and no sunlight exposure.

PS: The mung beans are planted on Feb. 1, 2021 and I haven’t prepared or took a picture while doing the experimental produre, I ony manage to take photos of the final results.

Pot A (with direct sunlight)

The mung beans in this pot have a green leafs with an

average size. Has a thick and greenish stem color that strong and

would be break by the strong blow of wind, it has the height of six

inches measured from the soil it had planted to the leaves of the

sprouts. As the result of having direct sunlight it had grew healthy

and strong stem as what I expected.

Pot C (with no sunlight exposure)

With no sunlight the mung beans have yellow-green to

yellow and below average size of leafs, an indication of light

deprivation. It looks not healthy because of the ten inches thin

white stem which could break by a blow of wind. The sprout

direction is not unified since they are finding source of light which

is deprived on them.

Conclusion

I conclude that a seed could grow without a source of light but with the soil

nutrients and water it needed to a sprout. However, those who are been deprived

with sunlight are not healthy, week, and have the slightest possibility of surviving

into a grown plant.

Sunlight or any source of light has the big role for a plant to grow healthy

and strong like humans we also need to be outside some time to have sunlight

for us to avoid to develop some illness. Like the disease we could get caused by

the lack of sunlight: rickets and osteomalacia (source, Google). Humans also

needed it for them to do photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and

certain organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.
