Ella Blecher's Seed Story - Jessica Serrano (Post 5 )

By -
Our Story of The Seed Project was full of stories to tell now I was given the opportunity to interview Ella Blecher who is in Team 5. She enjoyed this project and had many funny moments such as when she found a bug floating in their water cup. " It made me laugh when there was a small brown bug floating in our plant's water cup." I then asked her what amazed her the most about this project. She answers with , " I was surprised how quickly our plant grew. I expected the brussel sprout plant to grow, but it surprised me how quickly the plant reached the size it is now. " I then asked what made her think a little deeper, she responded with , " I had to stop and think a little deeper when we were moving our plant to the garden. We needed to find a spot where our plant would thrive , while not stopping other plants from doing so. " She then further explained to me how she found a spot in the back where their plant would receive a lot of sunlight yet not block any plants. To wrap up this interview I asked her what one thing was that she learned. " I learned about photosynthesis on a more personal level by watching my plant grow from up close. " We then closed off this interview. Both of us enjoyed this experience of interviewing each other.

Blog post #8: A Matter of Selection (Grace Slone)

Over many months of observing and monitoring the growth of our Brassica oleracea plant, there are many things that have become known. However, Brassica oleracea has not stayed the same for all of its existence on earth. It has changed, adapted, and gone through a process called natural selection in order to form new variations of the same species. The part of the plant that I decided to observe were the leaves of the plant. I noticed that the leaves in the various plants had a range in width from 1.5 cm to 16 cm. I also noticed that the leaves in the plants had a range in length from 6 cm to 24 cm. These two facts prove that compared to other parts of the plant, the leaves have the greatest variation and depend mostly on what type of Brassica oleracea plant it is. I think that there is so much variation in Brassica oleracea because over time, as the plants have been planted in various locations, they have needed to adapt to their new environments, an

Seed Germination Lab Report

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to try and see how liquid chlorophyll affects seed germination, and whether water, chlorophyll, or a mixture of both would create a larger sprout. This is significant because in a plant, chlorophyll helps produce the food, so by supplying it for the plant, we wanted to know if it would affect the growth. As a result of this seed germination lab, added chlorophyll did not affect the growth of the seeds at all, leaving the only plant with 10 ml of water to grow up to 4cm tall. The rest of this report will share our results, data, and intentions put into this project. Introduction: In our experiment, we started out with our question, can liquid chlorophyll increase plant growth? After that, we researched the chlorophyll online, and we bought 16 fl oz of chlorofresh at Sprouts.  We went on to make our hypothesis, if chlorophyll is vital in photosynthesis, then added chlorophyll would reduce the amount of time the plant needed to grow. Then,
