My project slide show
Sierra conducted an experiment to see how different liquids affected viola plants when used for watering. Plant A was watered with regular water, Plant B with sugar water, Plant C with apple juice, and Plant D with orange juice. Over 10 days, Plant A grown normally while Plants B, C, and D declined, with Plant C becoming totally dead. Sierra's hypothesis that Plant B would grow best was incorrect, but the experiment showed plants do not survive well when watered with liquids containing glucose.
TechYES project 1 final copy
Sierra conducted an experiment to test how different liquids affect plant growth when used for watering. She had four viola plants and watered one with regular water (Plant A), one with sugar water (Plant B), one with apple juice (Plant C), and one with orange juice (Plant D). Over 10 days, she observed the plants and measured their heights. Plant A watered with regular water grew normally, while the other plants showed signs of stress - Plant B became droopy, Plant C died halfway through, and Plant D developed fungus and died by the end. Sierra's hypothesis that the sugar water plant would do best was incorrect, but she concluded that plants do not survive well when watered with liquids containing glucose
Organic Garden July 2012 - Part 1 of 2
As promised here it is the first part of what is going on in my crazy messed up garden. Flowers are gone, Tomatoes are coming up and some shrugging of the bushes.
Ivan Lafayette - QSI Symposium - Poster - Final version
This study identified four compounds that inhibit the Pqs quorum sensing system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compounds were shown to inhibit expression of the pqsA gene and reduce production of the virulence factors pyocyanin and lectin A. They exhibited low cytotoxicity against human cells. The compounds represent promising leads for further pre-clinical evaluation as inhibitors of P. aeruginosa virulence.
Organic garden july 2012 - Part II
The document discusses preparing a climbing mesh by repeating the phrase "Preparing the climbing mesh" multiple times without providing any other context or details. The preparation of the climbing mesh is mentioned but no information is given about the actual steps or process involved.
Extraction kits – how do kits work on dna
It is common for students to use kits without knowing exactly what the different solutions/buffers are doing or what are they composed of. This automate attitude is wrong, thus, a proper discussion over the ins and outs of DNA extraction kits is imperative. The Toxicologist Today gives a little help, if you know more help us by commenting.

Introduction to Squarefood Gardening
This document introduces the concept of square foot gardening. It notes some common concerns people have with traditional gardening that take up too much time and space. Square foot gardening addresses these concerns by having you plant in small 4x4 foot boxes filled with a specific soil mix, with plants spaced closely together. This saves on watering, weeding, and pest control needs. The key steps are to build boxes, fill them with a soil mix of 1/3 each peat moss, vermiculite and compost, and then plant seeds or seedlings on a grid pattern, with 1-16 plants per square. Water and care for the garden regularly by working from the aisles. Harvest continually and repl
In the Garden: Companion Planting
The document discusses companion planting strategies for a home garden. It describes grouping vegetables that work well together based on their effects on one another, such as providing shade or deterring pests. Specifically, it details the author's plans to plant cucumbers, sunflowers, lettuce, radishes, carrots, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, okra, and herbs together based on their beneficial relationships. The author aims to use companion planting to increase yields while reducing work.
Planting seeds and other things
The document discusses the author's newfound interest in gardening and the lessons she has learned from the process. She describes planting vegetable seeds and herbs and carefully tending and watering them until they sprouted a few weeks later, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment. The author reflects on how gardening has taught her the importance of patience during waiting periods, as good things often happen during that time. She is working to apply this principle to other areas like fitness, raising her son, and personal development by setting goals and trusting that results will come through diligent effort and focus over time.
Dandelions My Little Dandelion
Maria Fell planted a dandelion seed on September 1st and kept a diary of its growth over the next three weeks. She carefully tended to the dandelion, providing sunlight, water, and crystals as instructed. Within a week, the first leaves emerged. By September 8th, the first flower had opened. The dandelion grew rapidly, filling in with more flowers. By September 13th, the dandelion had completed its lifecycle, opening fully and transforming into seeds. Though a common plant, Maria found the experience of nurturing the dandelion from seed to be a rewarding learning experience in her Herbology studies.
teaching English by using CLIL model (Seeds)
Mr. Handy found that all the seeds from last year's garden had gotten mixed together in their storage bag. He needed to separate and identify each type of seed so he could correctly label them for planting. It was suggested that he plant each seed type and observe what grows to identify each one, using resources like empty seed packets, paper, and a pen to properly label the separated seeds.
Earthday (shikha)
This document contains multiple short passages written by students about ways to help the environment and care for the Earth. The passages suggest actions like planting trees and flowers, putting up bird and squirrel feeders, recycling, picking up litter, making compost, and avoiding activities that harm the environment like cutting trees down or burning garbage.

The document encourages planting and caring for trees to benefit the environment, mitigate climate change, and inspire new growth.
Garden GHS
Juan Carlos and his classmates worked in the greenhouse cutting potatoes to replant. They also prepared warm tea to nourish the plants and help them grow healthy. The students made signs with the plants' names written in different languages. They transplanted vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, and swiss chard from the greenhouse to the garden beds and farm field, digging holes and moving soil. Their work in the community garden helped provide vegetables for local families.
Wicking Pots and Worm Beds for Solanacea
The author is setting up wicking beds using polystyrene boxes to grow tomatoes and eggplants. Small rocks were added below drainage holes for drainage. Soil, crushed rock, potting soil and fertilizer were added as the growing medium. Earthworms and seeds were planted. Salad greens were initially planted to start the wicking process. The soil stayed moist, indicating the wicking system was working properly.
