  When and why did you decide to go into a science career?

  
  
• Answer the question you selected for profile question 1 here (300 words):

  Science was always fun. It was challenging and I wanted to learn new things. It allowed me to think analytically but be creative as well. Thinking out of the box is always helpful. Science is hard but worth the headaches.

  Remember your science basics as well as retain the information. It is not just a memory game but how to use that information to make experiments and explain it to others.

Hi Team,

Wow, congrats on the seed germination.  How cool is that!

If the other seeds are taking over, maybe push the not-germinated seeds to the side a little and try to gently push them back down in the soil so they have a chance to germinate as well.

What other observations have you seen with your seeds?  Look closely to see if there is anything else, sometimes changes are very small.  

Also, make sure you write down all your observations and changes in your lab notebook for the final write-up.

Keep up the awesome work!

Jessica
