Hi Team,

Good work on your project.

Have any of the seeds germinated anymore? 

Thanks for the data chart and pictures of the experiment. Why do you think the seeds did not germinate? Think hard, no right or wrong answer.

If you had the chance to redo the experiment and change one aspect... what would it be and why?

What could you of done to your current project to make it better?  Like, keeping better notes or measuring more accurately or ???

What was the best part of your project? What was the least fun?

Good job again.
