Through this year I had worked on the Story of the Seed project. With my group consisting of Alia, Elena, Duaa, and Isha we did our experiment on broccoli and vinegar. In our experiment I learned that plants are so dependent on water that there really is no substitute even if the substitute is low in acidity. Something that surprised me in the experiment that some plants with slightly higher concentrations in acidity grew although they appeared to be unhealthy. Something that made me laugh throughout the project was my group mates because they made working on this project more fun than it already was. One thing that made me think deeply about in the project was that all life simply depends on water and with water being used up irresponsibly by humans we put in danger not only ourselves, but all living things around us. The most frustrating part of the project for me generally remembering to water the plants. I always remember a group member reminding me to do so.
Although that was only my experience. Through Sammy's experience she had learned that taking care of plants is much more difficult that it appears. Something that she was very surprised on was that, "...my plants actually grew!" because she was unsure about all the steps it took to take care of a plant. One thing that made Sammy laugh was her group. A factor that made her think a little deeper was learning more about about the background about how plants grow and how they thrived. For example,"...how the carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles affect the plant...". She feels the most frustrating part of the project was having to remember to take care of the plants and just to check on them.
