Farewell and Best Wishes As this research project is now in the final stages of wrapping-up, we wish to thank everyone who participated in this inquiry; the students, mentors, teachers and others behind the scenes. We appreciate all of your efforts and contributions to this online learning community. Scientific exploration is a process of discovery that can be fun! There are many unanswered questions about plants just waiting for new scientists to consider, investigate, and share. Please come back and visit the PlantingScience Research Gallery Archive anytime to view this project in the future. You can search the Archive by key word, team name, topic, or school name. Good bye for now. Warm regards, The PlantingScience team |

Hi all: Did you do anything differently with your beans than everyone else ? Why do you think they have not sprouted yet? I am looking forward to hearing from you soon! Laura |

Hi Laura, The spores swim towards each other! It's funny to see!! And our teacher says they are tired, they swim slower. bye, Senné |

Hi everyone: I have some questions for you to help you think about your research question and prediction: What part of the life cycle do you think will differ? Do you think spore and seed plants will have some similarities in their life cycles, or be completely different? Cheers, Laura |

Hi Laura, I also look forward to work with you! Something about myself: I like playing oboe, hockey, drawing. And I like pigs. I want a real pig, but the garden is too small so that's not possible. bye bye, Senné |

Hi everyone! I look forward to working with everyone. Do you have any ideas about your research project yet? Please post them if you do! A bit about myself: My main hobbies are volunteering, soccer, reading, watching documentaries, playing guitar, drawing or painting, hiking, natural history outings, and writing poetry. My current research uses computer modeling to understand the predictability of the abundance (how many individuals) and identities (particular species) of plants in the landscape, which is important for conservation and management. I have been a PlantingScience mentor for several years now, and I enjoy mentoring students. Cheers, Laura Super |

Welcome! I am happy to welcome you to this community of plant researchers. Your team has the opportunity to be mentored by a 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. The more you share your ideas and research information online, the more your mentor can help. Your scientist mentor for this project will be Laura Super from University of British Columbia. Please introduce yourself and 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 start this scientific journey. We are all pleased to share this experience with you. Have fun! Sincerely, The PlantingScience team |
