About this Project: This project deserves consideration for a Star Project award due to the exceptional dedication and effort demonstrated by the group. Their commitment extended beyond regular class hours, with early morning and throughout-the-day involvement in meticulously switching their algae beads between various temperatures. The project's unique focus on the concept of whiplash weather, a consequence of climate change, showcases innovative thinking. I like that this group wanted to conduct research that attempted to address the impact of changing climates on plant growth and crop yield, aligning with a critical and globally relevant issue—climate change. -- Jennifer Broo, Teacher
