My introductory college biology students are doing similar research projects now.  I hope that their work is as good as yours!

Great work and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Steve

Hi All!  You've been busy again!  Nice job.  Your conclusions are coming along great.  It looks like you are nearly finished.  I like the way you basically have separate sections in the conclusions for the data including sections on: (a) how salt affects height of seedlings, (b) how salt affect whether the seeds are happy (i.e., growing upright and looking healthy), (c) how salt affects seed germination.  So, what overall conclusion can you make?  Can the seedlings tolerate any salt?  how much is too much?  Is this amount what you would expect in the ocean, or even on a roadside after winter salting?  I'm impressed with your work.  You should be proud.  Steve
