Plant Growth





Question: How does the amount of water affect plant growth?

Scientific Method:
1. 3 different varieties of plants were selected for this experiment.
4 of each of the varieties were planted in a pot with holes in the bottom to allow for drainage.
A. Cactus
B. Lobelia
C. Primrose
2. The plants were planted in organic potting soil the potting soil had the proper nutrients needed for all of the plants.
3. The plants were healthy and alive when they were planted.
4. The plants were separated into four groups (red, blue, yellow, and green), and each group had one of each of the three different types of plants.
5. Each other day for two weeks the plants were watered.
Red group received two sprays of water from a spray bottle.
Blue group received an eye dropper full of water.
Yellow group received two tablespoons full of water.
Green group received ¼ of a cup of water.
6. This place is where you tell what you saw and therefore what plants should be planted in areas of California where there are water shortages. Yucaipa is one of these areas.

Serra Chapel @ San Juan Capistrano Mission


Mission San Juan Capistrano



Mission San Juan Capistrano founded on November 1, 1776 on All Saints Day by Father Junipero Serra. It’s named for a 15th century theologian the warrior priest who resided in Abruzzo, Italy. It was originally founded by Father Lausen in October 30, 1775. It was abandoned after eight years after it’s attacked. Before it was attacked the padres buried the bells to keep them safe. It is the seventh mission of the entire California missions. It is called the jewel of the mission. Mission San Juan Capistrano is probably now the most beautiful mission of all the California missions. Mission San Juan Capistrano’s location is along the coast near Orange County. It is named for Saint John of Capistrano Franciscan preacher who lived in Italy. It is also named for the indigenous people named the Juanenos. Famous for its beautiful garden, home of thousand of sallow’s come every year. The sallows migrate each spring from as far as 2,000 miles away from their homes for winter in Central America. They usually arrive around March. They have a celebration on March 19, Saint Joseph’s Day. It is one of the oldest buildings in California still in use. An additional chapel was building in 1782 known as the “Serra Chapel for Father Serra. Is one of a few missions that have been founded twice?
