Marieke Sillevis Smitt Interview

Q: What have you learned from this project?

A: I learned that B12 is a nice supplement to aid in the growth of plants. It makes them strong and tall, and also that artificial sunlight makes plants weak.

Q: What was your hypothesis?

A: "We put B12 in our plants which made them germinate slower, but grow faster. We originally thought they would both be faster, but that wasn't the case."

Q: What made you laugh?

A: "The time I got hit by a bike, and when we ate our plants."

Q: What plants did you grow?

A: We grew collards, they grew really well.

Q: What made you stop and think?

A: I stopped and thought for a while when their plants grew a massive amount in a short period of time, it was really weird to see, bit nice, since we knew our hypothesis was beginning to become correct.

Q: In the end, are you satisfied with the results, or do you wish you would have done something different?

A: Yeah, I think we're satisfied with our results, we learned something, and I don't think we would have done anything differently

Tate's Experience of his Story of the Seed Project

From his experience with the Story of the Seed project, Tate learned many things. He learned that B12 increases the growth rate his collards, and that xylitol decreases the growth rate. He was surprised with the experience of using Blogger and wasn't happy with it after the the interactive graph he made didn't work after the conversion from Java to HTML. He laughed when he ate the plants at the end of the project because he saw the plants were very weak and wouldn't survive in the outside, so he "put them out of their misery" and ate them. He analyzed his project the most when he was finishing the discussion and reviewing everything he did in his project.

Katie Inman's Seed Story

1.What have you learned from this project?
"From this project,  learned that growing plants from a seed is difficult. You need to constantly be watching it so that nothing harms it. It's like your child."

"I was surprised how our small our plant was compared to everyone else's plant. I am surprised that it survived this long."
