The Lorax and Peas

Hi All,

I hope you are all having a great week! Sorry for the delayed update. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you compare your Lorax concept maps last week. Overall, effective causal connections were made in your systems.

Our efforts in the garden last week were vastly improved! We set up a research area that includes three 4' x 5' beds, one with plain soil, one amended with compost, and one that has had organic fertilizer added. Into each plot we planted 50 pea seeds. We began using the scientific method to observe the research area and to pose questions about what we saw. Today we worked on developing hypotheses related to soil conditions and our predictions related to how they may affect the growth of the peas.

Tomorrow we continue our field work.....
