Is green the only color in a leaf?
R
Do plants lose water through their leaves? R Can water travel through plant stems? R How Does the Size of a Pumpkin Affect the Number of Seeds It Produces? R Investigate The Venus Fly Trap - an incredible plant that eats insects and therefore it is carnivorous. R S Carnivorous Plants: the secrets behind the foliage! R S Find the percent variation of water storage among different succulent species. R Verify that an electrical potential is generated within the petioles when the Mimosa Pudica leaves are physically stimulated. R Investigate whether the pigments in leaves that produced their autumn color are present while the leaves were still green. R Investigate Photoperiodism in Plants R Does Greater Leaf Diameter Increase Transpiration Rate of plants? R 1. Determine whether plants can survive in a simulated Martian-like environment. 2. Determine whether plants can change the atmosphere from carbon dioxide to oxygen. R Find out how temperature affects a plant's ability to transport nutrients. R Is green the only color in a leaf?

1. What happens to pigment as leaves change color with seasons? 2. Why are two leaves of the same tree different in color intensity? 3. Does the temperature of a refrigerator have an effect on a plants pigment composition? 4 and 5. Compared different, yet similarly colored parts of the plant to determine whether or not the coloring pigment was the same.
