1. What do you think the experimenters considered as two possible sources for the substances (matter) that became incorporated into new tree growth? (This experiment was performed nearly 300 years ago. People didn't know very much about chemistry, and air was thought to be a non-substance.) Soil and water 2. When the experimenters measured the weight of the two substances (question #1) they thought went into the plant, they found 35 kg of one and 2 kg of the other. Where do you think they thought the rest of the plant's weight came from?
