I am doing a science project on the effects of phototropism and am having a hard
time trying to connect it to the real world.  I realize if the light only hits a
plant from one side it will grow there, but i cant find anytime that that would
happen because the Sun moves and as does its light.  the only connection i can
think of is in a rain forest, but i thought that phototropism only occurs when
there is direct contact with light.  i'm lost, can you help?
