Writing about "Plant a Sock"

Time to finish up our "Plant a Sock" project. We had MIXED results. Across our two classrooms, only 15 boxes showed signs of germination and growth of any sort at all. We have a lot of theories about reasons why our seeds may not have grown. That's an interesting story in itself in this very strange year of drought. However, it is time to summarize our results and move on... So, this is what is needed for the lab report on this project: 1) What was the process? 2) What happened to your sock/box? Include any observations or notes that you made. 3) Class data -- maps and sketches/notes 4) Conclusions --
  • Why and how did seeds germinate and grow where they did?
  • What might have given us different results?
  • What does this activity tell us about seed dispersal?

Attach all your data, maps, and notes to your write up.
