=Godetia=
 * Domain
 * Kingdom - Plantae
 * Phylum
 * Class - Magnolipsida
 * Order - Myrtales
 * Family -Onagraceae
 * Genus - Clarkia
 * Species - C. Concinna

Geographical Location: It s  to California, where it can be found in the low-elevation mountains of the northern part of the state

Daily care: The soil can never be dry. This plant needs a large amount of water for it grow.

Other interesting information: Whether it's known by the name godetia or clarkia, this hardy annual with purple, rose or white blooms is reminiscent of the anemone, Other names attributed to godetias, which are members of the Onagraceae family, are satin flowers, farewell-to-spring, summer's darling, red ribbons and fairy fans. Godetia blooms are about 2-3 inches in diameter. The plants grow 2-3 feet tall. Godetias' four-petaled flowers are characteristic of the family, although florists frequently use double-flowered varieties that have more petals per bloom.

Pet INVESTIGATION: By March 9/10 you should have completed a plan for investigation

1. Find at least three variables that you can use as dependent variables for an investigation over time. Each variable must be something that you can measure as precisely as possible. Fill out the table below on your web page: 2. Expectations: For each variable that you will monitor over time, you will need to state and explain an expectation. Write this out both in sentence form and as a qualitative graph. Your expectation should be for three months.
 * ~ Dependent Variable ||~ Measuring Device and Units ||~ Uncertainty of Measurement ||
 * Amount of Water || Beaker and mL || 0.1 ||
 * Amount of Sugar || Weightier grams || 0.1 ||
 * Amount of Sugar || Weightier grams || 0.1 ||

I think that the vase that will be water with sugar water taller. Every week I will measure the height of the tallest Leaf or Flower.I will also weight my plant to see if the sugar makes the soil heavier or lighter.

Every other day I check if a flower has blossom, the height of the heights leaf and the weight of the whole plant.

Weight of Two Plants

Height of The Two Plants

Flower Bloom

Observation

Both plats grew in a steady manner there were some points in which there were hiccups because the plant was watered or the plants didn't get enough light. The plant never stooped increasing in weight. the height of the plant didn't grow because as leafs grows they grew to the vertically. In plant number one had a much smaller amount of flowers then Plant number 2.

My pet left my with many questions like, the of soil a plant needs for its soil. Also I was left if you another question which is if you left a my plant under light all the time would grow in a faster rate.

I learned many things while growing my two plants, the first is that I learned to take care of living things. Before I could not get a plant to live for a day without it dying. I had to figure out the amount of water my plant needed and light it needs. Also I learned how to make measurements every day then put them in a graph. I had to gather all the information and put it together in a graph. Since I had two of the exact plants I was able to compare them to see the average speed of the growth of the species of the plant.

An analysis of your data and observations of your pet. This should include > Some useful links related to plant species
 * A description of how the dependent variable changed with the independent variable (time). For example, did your variable increase at a constant rate? Did it increase and then reach a constant level? Was there any change in the slope of your graph? Describe some details of the graphs that you would //not// have been able to predict without making your measurements.
 * A description of the uncertainties in your measurements. For what questions could you answer, even though there were uncertainties? What questions could you not answer, because of the uncertainties?
 * A brief reflection (one or two paragraphs) on what you learned from your pet. Include at least two good questions that you thought of as you observed your pet over the past several months.
 * [|Plant Search Engine]--this has some very nice explanations of "leaf shape", "leaf structure", etc. which can help you to start describing and classifying your plant
 * [|Leaf]--Wikipedia's entry has a lot of information
 * [|Leaf key]--this may help you narrow down to some species
 * [|Classification]--this can help you go "up" if you already know a name
