Best Practices

For best practices, we bassically just need to keep the shed organized.

we are working on a way to have all the tools and supplies organized. we will also have a bucket where we will have sand and a little bit of oil, where the tools can be cleaned.

Stop Motion Plant

For my stop motion plant, i will be using a bean.

the bean will be placed in a jar with a moist cotton ball, this will allow it to sprout, and hopefully will take they allotted time to grow and be photographed.

The Global Food Crisis- Response

The part that really struck me was the facts about the meat in china. I didn’t know that so much food goes into feeding one pig, and that it would be better and more logical to just feed the people the grain that they feed the pigs with.

Ideas for senior project.

For your blog entry I would like you to ponder some of what you have heard and throw some ideas out that you think might work for senior project
1- I learned that we know more about our moon then we do about our own ocean.
ideas- a sound piece/ song made out of all underwater sounds.

2- 1% of the worlds water is available for drinking.
ideas- a sound piece/ song made with dripping water.

what i was actually thinking of doing was making a sound piece that portrays someone walking onto a busy city street and transitions into someone taking a stroll in the country side. it would have some peaceful guitar.

Initial Plant Research

Zuc⋅chi⋅ni [zoo-kee-nee]
Zucchini is a vegitable. It is a “summer vegetable” they are warm weather vine plant, they grow the best in warm wathe, but they can grow in most gardening climates.
The best soil you can use when growing zucchini is clean soil mixed with compost. Its also good for the plant to have soil with “good drainage”
The growing process for zucchini usually takes anywhere from about two to three months. zucchini fruit grows quickly.
The shallow root system require a weekly watering.
Small to medium sized zucchinis generally taste better than larger zucchinis.
For zucchini to grow a good amount, especially when there are multiple vines two foot growing area is best.
To prevent disease do not to handle the fragile vines when they’re wet.
To plant build an 8in deep mound of soil. Place several zucchini seeds ½” deep within the mound. When the seedlings emerge, thin to 3 plants on the mound. When the true leaves appear, you can thin to one or two healthy plants.


Gar⋅lic [gahr-lik]
Garlic grows best in warm weathers where there is no frost, although it can grow in many places.
Soil conditions for garlic are best when the soil is well-drained with sandy loam with humus. But they will grow in a wide range of soils, but the looser the soil the bigger it will grow. Also, if the pH level is approx 6.0, it will grow very well and keep garden free of weeds.
Plant the cloves, separated from the bulb in spring or summer.
Plant the garlic, separated from the bulb with the blunt end down about 1 ½ in deep. Space them at 6" apart and make the rows 1' apart.
During germination, keep the garden soil moist, but not too wet. When they are more mature, only water when the dirt around seems to be drying out.
Pick the garlic when the flower dies and the leaves begin to turn yellow. Don't water the garlic bed for two weeks before you pick them. Take the bulbs out of the ground with a fork so that you don’t damage the bulbs.

What do I want to learn about the natural world?

Something that I am curious about, in terms of environmental science and the world we live in is how we get our water and if it’s really running out as fast as we think it is. When it runs out, what will we do?
