The students have just planted Fast Plants. We have looked at Gregor Mendel and his genetic work with peas.

For the next few weeks the students will be studying plants and creating a plant booklet. They will be working each day in class and getting a daily grade for their progress.

They will be keeping a journal with sketches of their Fast Plant's growth. Nothing is coing up yet.
