Assignment 5
My plant is a living thing because it respirates and grows. The plant takes in CO2 and emits oxygen and if you look close enough the plant cells divide and multiply. Also the plant uses energy and grows and adapts. The plant adapts to survive and will change its color to survive. the plant also reproduces and creates more to take its place.

Helen's Seed Story
interviewed by Ryan Keeney
Q: What have you learned?
A: I learned about the biotic and abiotic factors that can affect the plant's growth. I found out small things like soil can make an impact on the plant's health.
Q: What surprised or amazed you?
A: I was surprised by the plants' determination to live, despite our harsh experiment and the competition in the garden. Our experiment for pH killed many of the plants yet some of hem managed to continue on. This was very surprising to me.
Q: What made you laugh?
A: The fact that we did not know the correct amount to water our plants with made me laugh. ?I find it funny that a group of student in Honors Biology can do the work we are given and understand things like the biogeochemical cycles and the DNA replication process, but apparently have no clue how much to water a simple plant.
Q: What made you pause and think a little deeper?
A: The blog post where we considered the genetics of our plant made me think a lot

Ryan's Seed Story
Interview by Helen Hills
Q: What have you learned?
A: I learned that all life in the ecosystem is interconnected and that the plants can affect the other animals and bugs living nearby.
Q: What surprised or amazed you?
A: I was surprised by that plants of the same species and genus can produce different plants.
Q: What made you laugh?
A: Nothing in this experiment made me laugh.
Q: What made you pause and think a little deeper?
A: I thought about the individual reactions of the cells to the chemicals we poured on them.
Zachary's Seed Story
Question: What have you learned?
Answer: I have learned how to write a blog, and how to study and grow a plant that affect our ecosystem.
Question: What surprised or amazed you?
Answer: That the baking soda made a cake on top of our plant and instantly killed it.
Question: What made you laugh?
Answer: The " death trap" and messing with Divina
Question: What made you pause and think a little deeper?
Answer: How the plant is able to grow from a tiny seed to a giant thriving flowering adult.

Divina's Seed Story
Interviewer: Zachary Wright
interviewee: Divina Rodriguez
Q:What did you learn by doing the Story of the Seed project?
A: I have learned how plants grow using photosynthesis and the system the plant has contributed to.
Q: What surprised or amazed you?
A: How fast and big our one plant grew and how fast we were able to kill the others.
Q: What made you laugh?
A: Zachary made me laugh along with the fuzzy white baking soda death trap.
Q: What made you pause and think deeper?
A: Finding the relationships between the plant and its ecosystem
