Good- bye Thank you to everyone taking part in this inquiry. It was great fun to bring you, your teacher, and your scientist mentor together online. There are many unanswered questions about plants----just waiting for young investigators to explore. We hope you are going away with the confidence that you can take on new scientific challenges. Best wishes for the remainder of your school year! Sincerely, The PlantingScience team |

It is going very good. Our control is #1,2,7,8,13, and 14. We haven't started #'s 13-18. Seeds are growing in bags 1,2,3,5, and 6. |

Hi again. Canada is pretty similar to the USA in terms of daily life. We get the same TV shows, we drive the same cars, etc... And the weather is similar to the northern states (where I live in Victoria, the weather is just like in Seattle). And yes I've been to the states a lot of times! How is the project coming along? What are your controls? |

Is life in Canada different than it would be in the United States? |

Yes, I'm planning on going to Colorado State University to be a paleontologist. I love learning about Native American history and world history before 1870. I am trying to go to a summer program to help a paleontologist on a dig site or anything else they would want me to do. |

You wanted to know a bit about me? My hobbies are dancing, hiking and of course gardening (surprise, surprise). I live in Victoria, BC, way up in Canada. :) My pets include 2 house cats, a couple of fish tanks, and a whole lot of well fed squirrels, deer and birds in our yard. We'd have a much larger menagerie (including goats, chickens and a horse) if I had my way, but we don't have an acreage so our neighbours would hate us (and yes, that's how you spell "neighbor" in Canada). Are you all planning on going to college/university once you finish high school? |

Our rationale To see if plants could grow in space depending on the gravity. |

So what is your rationale? Hi All, Interesting experiment. But out of curiosity, why are you interested in the rate of root growth depending on the change in gravity? Do you see some application of this? I'm just interested in finding out what prompted your idea. :) As for your methods, I'm confused by points 7, 8 and 9. Are the seed sandwhiches in 7 and 8 both in horizontal dishes, only that one is propped up with modeling clay while the other is not? Can you add a diagram or photo just so it's clear? For the sake of maintaining controls, you may want to ensure that all the seeds are getting the same amount of sun (same location from window/light source) and water (you may want to add a set amount of water to all containers at the same time). Have a super day! |

Hello Horntown Weedwhackers I am happy to welcome you to this community of plant researchers. Thank you for introducing yourselves. Your team has the opportunity to be mentored by a real scientist to help you develop and perform your own research project. The mentor's role is to encourage and guide you through the scientific process of discovery. Your scientist mentor for this project will be Alina Fisher from the University of Victoria. We want to help you design a great project and we want to see your data! Please post some possible research topic ideas to get a conversation rolling. These resources are available to help you get started: Thinking Like a Scientist / Working Like a Scientist Designing Experiments Guide to Using A Spreadsheet Best wishes as you embark on this scientific journey. We are all pleased to share this experience with you. Have fun! Sincerely, The PlantingScience team |
