About our Project

The purpose of this project is for students ,such as our selves, to learn about the environment we live in, and how plants are able to grow in this environment. We have planted a Kale plant in the school's garden and will study it's progress as it grows though out the year. Each time we go out into the garden and record data it helps us understand how nature prospers in our garden and what factor s are affected in a good way and which factors are affected in a negative way.This lab is helping many students in this class understand how nature works in the different environment.

1/ Abiotic factors: temperature; the weather is very hot in some of these days.
    Biotic factors: Grass growing next to the plant; a lot of them are growing next to our plant and i think they are taking our plant's resources.

2/ As if now, our plant is in a very competitive life because there are so many grass growing next to our plant.

3/ Well, of course, the winner would be determined base on how much resources the took and some time you find it hard to answer because they might have an equal amount of population.

4/ Parasitism because the plant is killing our plant but trying to hang on so the can get the water that our plant getting feed.

5/ Our plants is an example of a secondary succession.

Biogeochemical Cycles and Our Plants

1/ My plant has been growing quite a bite, it is now 4 inches and the plant is all green and in good shape.

2/ My plant has participated in the water cycle since it helps with the transpiration part by getting water and then limited them as heat into the atmosphere.

3/ the plant role: photosynthesis and respiration.

4/ I don't think our plant has participated in any kind of nitrogen cycle.

Brief Bio for Bao Ngyuen

My name is Bao Nguyen, I am 14 years old and I had just moved here from Vietnam for about two years and so far my life has been just great since I have so many friend that Cesar about me and I’m here is to tell you about my experience with plants.

           Back in Vietnam, my family had a huge farm and that is where we would grow coffe. In every fall, it’s the time for us to collect coffe so we can sell it. Usually it just my brothers and my dad who would acctually went and collect the coffe because I was still small so I’m just often be standing around maybe climbing up the trees tolook at the sky and spented a good afternoon sleeping and people would end up go finding me. After a harsh day of collecting coffe and finding me, mom always cook a hot delicious meal full of soup and noodles. And that is the casual day for us and the people living in the same area during fall.
