So, today we tried something new. Did it go perfectly...of course not! During B hour we had a few wrinkles to iron out. OF COURSE they call us down for pictures and interrupt us. However, we got the job done. We made newspaper pots using a modified version of the instructions found below:
HOW TO MAKE NEWSPAPER POTS
So, the pots have the following benefits:
1. They are recycled and therefore, FREE!
2. They are biodegradable and contain soy-based ink.
3. They were actually pretty fun to make!
So the soybean project goes like this:
Each student received one soybean seed. The soybeans have the following genes:
Yellow plants, green plants, or yellow-green plants.
The reason some plants are "yellow-green" is because of the phenomenon known as "incomplete dominance" or "codominance." Rather than one color masking the other, when both alleles are present, the resulting color is a blend of yellow and green.
We will be analyzing our actual results against the results predicted with a Punnett Square. The predicted outcome is 50% yellow-green, and 25% green and 25% yellow!! WE SHALL SEE!
You can come check all of these neat things out at the Knight of Excellence on April 7th.
