This is a star project because the girls were very excited about their research and were dedicated to gathering quality data. They chose a project that was kind of hard (isolating hermaphrodites to observe if they would self-fertilize) and they successfully isolated them and saw results that supported their hypothesis! In order to find out more information, they were very good about communicating with their mentor and researching information online. It was so fun to watch these girls get excited and ask great questions about their research! -- Kim Allyn Parfitt, Teacher
