Mimosa pudica seeds are to be purchased and grown in 5 different environments including a control. Once adequately grown the plants in each environment are to be brushed against the lateral edge of their flower with a q-tip. The time it takes for a plant to complete its closure will be timed. In the event of partial closing, the timer will be stopped when the nastic movement has completely halted.
There will be a total of 5 different environments that each group of M. pudica will be grown in. All environments are to be on an # hour day night cycle. The control environment will be designated as Environment 1. Plants under these conditions will be allotted a normal amount of water and will be kept at a temperature of 21C. Environment 2 will have high heat and a normal water supply. Plants under these conditions will be kept at a temperature of 24C. Environment 3 will have a low heat and will be kept at a temperature of 16C. The water supply under this condition is to remain normal. Environment 4 will have a high amount of water supplied to them but be maintained at a normal temperature of 21C. Environment 5 is to have a low supply of water, and be maintained at a normal temperature of 21C.
