Mallory's Seed Story - Leah Chiponis

By -
Our group overall had a positive experience with the Story of the Seed project. Now, let's see what Mallory Byers thought of the project and the effect that it had on her.


          What have you learned?
Mallory explained how she learned about the relationship between plants and other
organisms along with the effects of that relationship as she observed her plant throughout the
whole project.
           What surprised or amazed you?
What surprised her was how she learned about the good things plants do for the Earth and
when she learned about all of the different processes and stages that plants go through,
like photosynthesis.
            What made you laugh?
She laughed with her group when they were trying to grow their brussel sprouts in
different materials and they went to check on the plants and they found that a was a bug
swimming in the water, which made them laugh.
              What made you pause and think a little deeper.
She paused and thought a little deeper when her group was discussing and talking about succession
( Primary and Secondary) of an ecosystem.
              What questions do you have about the things that you learned or observed in the garden?
A question she had about the things that she observed or experienced in the garden was "When will our plants be ready to pick?"

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,
