Question

Please Cover A Small Section Of Grass In Your Lawn With An Item That L Please cover a small section of grass in your lawn with an item that light cannot penetrate. One foot by one foot is sufficient. If you do not have a lawn, cover a few leaves on a houseplant (foil works well) or a bush outside. Be certain not to do this on somebody else's prized plants or lawn or on plants like poison ivy. Ensure the covered spot still receives sunlight at this time of year. After 3 days, observe and note any changes. Repeat the observations after one week and then after 12 days. At the end of the lab report, record your observations and discuss what has occurred in relation to the formula for photosynthesis, rather than merely noting color change. Additionally, consider whether the plant or grass received any water, the average amount of sunlight per day, and other environmental factors. Use nearby grass or uncovered leaves as your experimental control. Throughout, apply the scientific method from the start to guide your observations and conclusions.

Introduction Photosynthesis is a fundamental biological process through which green plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing oxygen and glucose from carbon dioxide and water (Raven et al., 2020). The process primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, driven by sunlight, and is essential for the survival of most life forms on Earth. This experiment aims to investigate how light availability affects photosynthetic activity in plants by covering a small section of grass with an opaque item, thereby obstructing light and observing resultant changes over time. Methodology The experiment involves selecting a small, one-foot square patch of grass in a lawn that receives consistent sunlight. The selected section is then covered with an opaque item, such as foil, ensuring no light penetrates. Control areas are left uncovered nearby. The same procedure is applied to indoor plants or outdoor bushes if lawn grass is unavailable. Observations are recorded at three intervals: after 3 days, after 1 week, and after 12 days. During each observation, photographs are taken, and physical measurements or qualitative assessments—such as color, turgidity, and signs of growth or decline—are documented. Environmental factors such as watering frequency and sunlight hours are also recorded. Results and Observations Initially, the covered section of grass appeared healthy, similar in color and vigor to the uncovered control areas. After three days, the covered area began to show subtle signs of stress, with a slight dullness in color and a possible decrease in turgidity. By the one-week mark, these changes became more pronounced; the covered grass appeared duller, slightly wilted, and possibly less vibrant due to reduced photosynthetic activity. After 12 days, the absence of light significantly impacted the covered grass, with noticeable browning, wilting, and possibly some death of the grass tissue. The nearby uncovered grass remained green and healthy, serving as
