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...

Blogpost 7     Our cabbage plant belongs to a family called Brassica oleracea and there is a variety of plants that belong in this group. We decided to take a closer look at the fertilization of these flowering plants. A few weeks ago my group an I decided to do a flower dissection where you found the parts of a flower, that are important in the process of fertilization.     Fertilization is the process of fertilizing an egg or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote. However plants go through angiosperm fertilization  since a plant is has both female and male reproductive parts. The anthers of a plant produce pollen which carries sperm. This happens through meiosis and then four haploid spore cells are formed. Then these cells go through mitosis. They then become pollen grains. This pollen grains must land on the stigma of a flower which Is the female reproductive part of a flower. The stigma has a sticky surfa...
