For this lab, I planted a sunflower seed in a plastic cup with some soil. I wanted to see if my sunflower would actually grow and how long it would take to grow. My sunflower has been doing very welll over the last couple of days. I planted it on February 11 and now it has grown tremendously in just 9 days.
