We are now studying plants. We will be growing plants from seed, bulb, pit, and cuttings over the next 3 months. Today we began by planting brassica seeds. We used the soil we made during our Rocks, Soil, and Silt unit to plant the seeds and now they are under our grow lights.
What is interesting about the brassica seeds we're using is that they're fast plants! This means that scientists helped make the plants go through their entire lift cycle in about a month - rather than the usual 3-5 months. We will be observing our plants using our observation journals to record what we see and notice about our plants. By planting today, we hope to have some sprouts by Monday!
Right now our seeds are watered, fed, and getting ready. We will keep you all updated on our first plants throughout the upcoming weeks!
