Aja's Seed Story by Annika Gordon

For story of the seed blogpost #5 we had to interview someone on their experience during the project, I choose Aja. When I asked Aja "What have you learned?" She responded with, “I learned that germination is when a seed grows and becomes a sprout.” I then went on to ask what surprised or amazed her the most? She told me “I was actually really surprised about how much the plants had grown because looking at the garden now they are 5 times as big as they were maybe more.” I asked her i anything made her laugh during this experiment and after a bit of thought she old me that that question made her laugh, but she wasn't sure if it was considered part of the project. I went on to ask, what made you pause and think a little deeper and what questions do you have about things you observed or experienced in the garden? she said “how other surgery substances would affect plant growth was something that popped into my head often during this experiment. Would they make the plant grow faster than what we used?” and “I am curious about how competition works in the garden and would like to learn more about this process.” For my last question I asked her what her biggest setback was, and almost immediately she responded with, “most of our plants were very weak or had died from our experiment. The salt caused plants not to sprout and if they did they were very weak. Poor care was also played a huge part in this.”

Aaron Janse's Story

Aaron learned that it's surprisingly easy to grow plants and it's even easier to grow them in a greenhouse. He was really amazed by how fast his plants grew and surprised with how quickly his plant died. He laughed when he saw how large everyone's plants were compared to his. Aaron had to stop and think a little deeper on making a blog and how blogs help you to look back on your experiences. The one question he had about his observations was where his plant went. His biggest setback was consistently watering his plant and the hardest part was keeping all his variables controlled and consistent. Aaron's favorite part about the project was being able to plant it outdoors.

#4. What made you pause and think deeply?
At first they did their experiment wrong, so they had to stop and restart.

#5. What things have you observed about the garden?
She has observed how big all the plants got and how all the living things interact with each other. Also, how abiotic and biotic factors effect the garden.

Bryce Magliari's Story by Whitley Moody

Bryce learned that it takes a lot more than throwing seeds into the ground to grow a plant.  Bryce was amazed by how bossy and controlling teammates can.  Bryce laughed a lot during his project because he had fun with his team while planting his plants. When he noticed that some of the plants weren't growing as fast as others, he stepped back and started to wonder why that was happening.   Bryce's favorite part was seeing how fast and large the plants grew.  Bryce's favorite teammate during this project was Brenden because they worked really well together and both finished the together.  He thought the hardest part of the project was finding all of the supplies for the experiment.
