This group has a student who has really blossomed and shown an interest in plants and science since we started this project. He was the first one over to his group's plants with his ruler and chromebook - ready to observe and measure. The Orange Pineapples were interested in seeing the difference between how plants grow in natural sunlight vs plants grown in an aquaponics tower. This team did a great job of documenting their project. They were careful with their plants when they took measurements, and they all were diligent about recording their observations and quantitative data in their journals. The group shared responsibilities and worked well together. They have also taken a lot of photos to document plant growth, which will be very helpful as they analyze the data they collected in order to write their conclusion.
