About this Project: This project deserves consideration for a Star Project award due to the group's exceptional determination and resilience in the face of initial setbacks. Despite obtaining no results in the first iteration of their experiment, the team reevaluated their approach and realized they could measure pH directly instead of using an indicator. They hypothesized that the indicator they were using was too dark to allow light to penetrate to their aquatic plant. The group's problem-solving and dedication to continuous improvement show that they were truly engaged in the scientific process. -- Jennifer Broo, Teacher
