Blog Post #2 Plants Post

 

Our plants have grown so much over the weeks.  We have been doing this for 14 days. The tallest controlled plant is 16 cm, It is green and the size is still pretty small. But definitely not super small. It is cell 3 controlled. The smallest is 9 cm from this week is is green too and it has no buds. Yesterday the tallest controlled was 15 cm. The day before the tallest controlled plant was 14 cm. A week before the tallest was 13 cm. The smallest last week was 4 cm. It was small. But not as small as the first week where the shortest controlled 1 cm.  

 

The tallest manipulated is 15 ½  cm from June 5th. The tallest from the day before was 15 ½ cm. It hadn’t grown at all. The tallest from the day before that was 14 cm. The smallest from June 5th was 8 cm and just a few buds like 4 of them. Most of our manipulated and controlled are growing buds or flowers. But one thing is bad news : They are dying!! The flowers are all flopping down. I couldn’t believe it when I saw what happened the other day. Also we actually pollinated our plants! All we did was touch our fingers on the flower to get pollen on it and touched it on the other one for both manipulated and controlled.

 

I think that the flowers started to flop down because we only added 1 drop of water to each cell. It was kind of like my hypothesis. My hypothesis was If we only add 1 drop of water to our manipulated plant it won’t be as tall because we only added one drop of water. But I said it wouldn’t be as tall and not the flowers would flop down. Maybe it happened also because there wasn’t enough lamp light?

Colonial America – pt 2 – Persona

My name is Scott Hannie Peterson. I am a male. Now I am 20 years old. I live with my wife and daughter. We are a very happy family and live on a plantation. My backstory started when I was 17 I married a women name Jeanie. She was a kind person. I knew I would live with her forever but then she killed a woman named Maggie Anderson’s husband. His name was Jeffery. I told Maggie I was very sorry and divorced Jeanie, from this day on I will never forget her and what she did. Then a while after I met a woman in a store named Maggie Anderson, I didn’t know it would come to this day to meet her and marry her, but I did marry her. I made a decision that I would marry her and wouldn’t betray her. A few months later we had a daughter, we named her Emma Peterson. We were happy we had a child. Almost a year later my parents decided to give my wife and I full ownership of the plantation in the Southern Colonies. So we moved there and started a brand new life with many different people that were strangers to us at first but they are now our family. We live with our slaves, cooks, and maids. We enjoy are life very much and are very happy to be a wealthy family.

My job is all about being fierce and taking ownership of my colony. I work hard and still play with my children. My wife also helps me feed the slaves after dinner, manage my colony, get to all my meetings and more. As a plantation owner I tell people what to do, it’s almost like I control them! My people are hard working and do not disobey my laws and rules. If they do they get a punishment, it’s on the charter. It’s hard being a plantation owner. Whenever someone needs to tell me a complaint it stresses me. I still hang out with my family and have fun. We have christmas parties and invite others. We like to eat gourmet meals and enjoy having banquet dinners.

 

Colonial America – pt 1 – Overview

We are doing a project about Colonial America. 8 people in each colony. There are 3 colonies. Each person in a colony has a role/job. From blacksmith to plantation owner. After we figure out more about our jobs and relationships we are going to “build” a colony out of cardboard. The colonies were… Southern, Middle, and New England. We made charters and maps already. Our teacher doesn’t help us much so we can do this on our own. She throws obstacles like hurricanes or native attacks and we have to solve it. Group work is going to be hard because a lot of people won’t back down on their idea.

Stargirl

In our class we reading “Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli. This book is really interesting, especially because it is social issues. From my opinion I think that this book doesn’t seem like it’s social issues. I think that Stargirl is an interesting character to study. She is very cheerful and today while we were reading I found out about a relationship. It’s that Stargirl might like Leo the narrator. Hillary is a popular girl and used to have the power, but now Stargirl has most of the power. This book is really good and I will read the sequel after we finish the first.
