The Story of the Seed



          Throughout this year-long lab, we will use the Brassica oleracea species to experiment and observe the growth and development of the plant. We will use the White Vienna Kohlrabi seeds.The seeds will be germinated and nurtured. It will experience outdoor variables, such as differing weather, animals, etc. We then will record data on our plants grown throughout the year.

     I remember the first time we chose our growing spots. Our spot was filled with some dried out dirt, hay, and some small sticks. Now, its flourishing with our small plants and thriving grass.     The past week or so, we have also received a good amount of rainfall. Resulting in more growth.  I noticed that the seeds have sprouted but it is surrounded by grass/weeds.      Our plant is a part of the water cycle. As water evaporates form water sources everywhere, it goes up into the atmosphere. Then, it condensates and precipitates down onto the plant. With the water, the plant is able to do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process where plants use energy from the sun to synthesize carbon dioxide and water. This process is how plants make their food. With photosynthesis, water plays a  major role. The plant absorbs the water through its roots, and it goes to creating food to help the plant grow.      Plants a...

this week the plant didn't change much besides in size. The  plant participated in the water cycle through transpiration.  In the biosphere, land plants absorb water through their roots and then transport this through their transport system to stems and leaves. This water is needed in  photosynthesis , which is the food production process for plants. Transpiration (evaporation of water from the surface of the leaf) then returns water back to the atmosphere and the cycle repeats itself. plants convert a tmospheric carbon dioxide to carbon-based compounds through  photosynthesis .  My pl ant participated in the water cycle through photosynthesis which is where plants combine carbon dioxide with water.  During this process, plants  cleave  the carbon from the two oxygen molecules and release the oxygen back into the surrounding  environment.  Plants are primarily responsible for the presence of atmospheric oxygen.   I n the nitrogen cy...

     My name is Emily Bacher. I have lived in California my whole life. I was born in Los Gatos and then I moved to San Jose when I was four years old.      The only times I remember gardening was when I was in elementary school. I remember when my teachers use to take my class to our school garden and we would plant food, watch it grow, and then eat it when it's fully ripe. It was really fun learning about different plants and vegetables. The first thing I remember planting was tomatoes. At first it was just a seed. Then once it grew, it became green. I asked my teacher why it was green instead of red. She said, " If the tomato is green that means it's not ripe yet.". When I was in fifth grade my friend, Katie, and I had a job to plant corn. It took a really long time. But it was all worth it in the end because we got to eat it and our teacher gave us extra credit for working so hard.  If there's anyone I know who loves gardening, it would be Kati...
