About Our Project

The “Story of the Seed” project is to view the growth of our brassica oleracea. Not only do we see the wonders of plant growth, but it is important to understand the biology of plants.

T he abiotic factors that our plant depends on are sun, which gives them the energy to photosynthesize, water, that keeps them hydrated, and temperature, so they don't burn up or freeze. Some biotic factors are soil, so they can get nitrogen, and other plants, because those other plants cold take away some nutrients. The plants we grew are also engaged in competition with the weeds around them. They are competing for sun, water, and soil. We know they are in competition because they are both trying to fill the same niche, and each plant wants the same resources. When two different types of organisms compete, sometimes it takes minutes, sometimes it takes eons, but most of the time there is a winner. The winner gets to keep the niche, and gets all the resources they were competing for. The loser dies, or has to emigrate to a different habitat. But sometimes it's not that easy.

These people are the poor, the immigrants, or labor workers. They’re people who are in situations we may not understand. Some wake up and work all day just to receive little pay. Which is why such people go down the path of eating unhealthy. Why pay for just a head of broccoli when you can pay for a Double Quarter Pounder with fries and a soda at the same price. Healthy foods need to be a right for all to receive because it’s in fact beneficial to all! Providing healthy foods to all is in fact ...

jacks seed story/ wills stots #5

I interveiwed Jack Panighetti for story of the seed #5. first question, what surprised you during the year? Jack: I was surprised when we saw the onion cell under the mircoscope. Will: what was the hardest project we've done so far? Jack: the hardest project I've done so far is when we repaired and painted the chicken coop. it was difficult because my partners did'nt show up some times and the hay was hard to get out. Will: what have you learned about growing plants? Jack: Over time I have learned that the plants need time to grow and you have to check up on them to make sure the weeds are not stealing water from our plants. Will: that's the end of our interveiw, thanks.
