The following project teams participated during our Spring 2022 session, and were recognized by their teachers and liaisons as those which displayed the best qualities of scientific investigation. The reasons for this recognition vary; some are nominated because they created a quality investigation design, others because their communication with their mentor was consistent and meaningful, still others because they maintained a positive attitude in spite of obstacles, or demonstrated innovative thinking.
On behalf of the PlantingScience community we applaud and congratulate the
students, teachers, mentors and liaisons who comprise these teams!
