In Science I grew two watermelon plants in a cup. I did this because I was supposed to see if plants need light. I put one cup in a cupboard, and labeled it "dark". I put the other cup on a windowsill and labeled it "light". So do plants need light?

| Apparently not because they both grew. :) |
 |
| But the one in the dark turned yellow and will not turn into a watermelon. |
 |
| The one in the dark also grew mold. |
 |
| This is the one in the light. |
 |
| It grew good and did not turn yellow. So if it wasn't winter it probably would grow into a watermelon. So yes, plants do need light. Sort of. |

As you found out seeds can sprout without light, which makes sense since they will be in the dirt where there isn't light anyway. But they do need a little moisture and warmth. To continue to grow they do need light or they turn yellow and die. Great job on the experiment, you were a very observant scientist!
