'The Story Of The Seed,'
is a project that has Justin Bursch's students take care of a plant from day one. The students got into groups of three and each got their own type of Brassica oleracea - a plant species that includes many common foods as cultivars, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts and collard greens. - and germinate them before continuing the project. Each student in the group of three had different sodium percentages, such as 0% (Plain water), which is the control group, 1%, 4%, and 8%. The students would then put the seeds on a paper towel, 5 milliliters of the water / sodium mixture, place on the seeds and place them in an air-tight Ziploc bag. The test is to see which level of sodium would produce the best results. After recording a few days of the seeds the students would then put the seeds in the pot under a grow light so they'll grow faster to then be put in the ground at our school's main garden. The reason for the grow light is to not only make them bigger, but also to see which ones were our best seeds. After, we'd place them into the ground and keep a record of how our plant is doing. We've only begun our project, so follow along with our growing plants!
