I am in 9th grade and taking BSCS, or honors biology. For my year long
experiment, I am growing grass in three pans--one on a flat surface, one tilted,
and one on a turntable that will be spinning throughout the experiment. I am
looking for the effects of gravity on grass, and which is stronger--gravity or
the plant's phototropism. I do not know what type of grass to use for my
experiment; A quick-growing type would be good, so that the experiment will not
take months to complete. Thanks!
