PROJECT STATUS: Completed 17 Jun 2006			Plants Move in Response to Their Environment Time-lapse photography captures movement by Jared Graham Starting date: 5 Jun 2006 Completion date: 15 Jun 2006 Reading that plants move in response to their environment is one thing, but seeing it happen is much more interesting. The movie below was made by taking a picture of the plants every 10 minutes for 2 hours. It is a loop of 12 pictures, so when you see the leaves jump quickly back to where they started that is the beginning of the loop.
