Hello scientist, I wanted to kind of give you guys the run down on what we will be doing for our investigation...
So basically as you already know are investigation question is "How will the ammount of water affect a plants growth." But in order to figure out how much water we were using what to use pipets. I descovered that it does take 10 pipets to wet the whole paper towel. So for our investigation we're going to be doing 10 pipets, 6 pipet, and 3 pipets. Every maybe Wednesday we'll water them. Well actually, we haven't came up with that yet, maybe you could help?
So this was just me letting you guys all know that this is whats going on and I'll update you if anything further happens. Oh and also, soon? I'm not sure when but sometime in the next couple days you will see an imagine of what work we have done so far.
Thank you!

Scientist Mentors Needed!
As we grow and continue to pursue our F2 research, we are sending out this appeal to our Scientist community: please spread the word and invite your students, colleagues, and friends to sign up and mentor with us!

Testimonials
“I liked that we didn’t know what was going to happen before we did the experiment. Instead of being taught something and then just doing an experiment to prove it, we made an attempt to find out what would happen ourselves.”
- PlantingScience Student
“At every opportunity, all involved kept reminding my students of the process that real science requires. This helped me to convince my students that they are really doing science - not just play acting until some future date.”
- PlantingScience Teacher
“It is a lot of fun interacting with students from an age group I don’t have the chance to spend a lot of time with. It is a good reminder of where public knowledge of plant science stands, and a great opportunity for me to practice explaining key concepts in a simple and straightforward way.”
