Student Blog Post Assignment #8: Seed Stories, Semester 1

Student Blog Post Assignment #8 Romanescrew Team Re-cap 

Student Interview of Jacob Sweet

Q: What have you learned?
A: "I have learned that plants grow really fast, but are also very delicate. I also learned that there are many species of pretty much the plant."

Q: What surprised or amazed you?
A: "It surprised me how much insects and weeds were able to muddle with our plants ability to grow. It also amazed me how much variation of success there was in two plants of the same species in the same environment."

Q: What made you laugh?
A: "When we used the base solution on our plants, a film built up instantly at the top and it was pretty funny."

Q: What made you pause and think a little deeper?
A: "I paused to think deeper about why the acid let the plants grow while the base didn't, considering the pH's of the two solutions were equally far away from the neutral 7.

Q: What questions do you have about things you observed or experienced in the garden?
A: "Why cant some plants survive without water if that provides them with nearly all of their energy through photosynthesis? In addition, where would that energy be stored?"
