QUESTION(S)

 * ===Is it possible to grow food this time of year?===
 * ===How long will it take for our seeds to germinate?===
 * ===How long will it take before we can harvest our food?===

THINK IT THROUGH

 * ===We cleared the garden bed of weeds.===
 * ===We tested four-year-old seeds to see if they were viable. They DID NOT sprout! Mr. Farmer bought some new seeds at Burger Farms (Newtown).===
 * ===We planted lettuce seeds; we began watering on September 8th.===
 * ===The life cycle of a plant is shown below. We will draw this in our science spiral together.===



HYPOTHESIS #1: It will take _ days for over half of our seed cups to GERMINATE.
===RESULTS: By September 18th, over 80 of the 106 student cups had seedlings. Congratulations to our five students with a correct hypothesis! For the other students... remember... scientists often learn the most when their hypotheses are wrong.===
 * < ===Hypothesis=== ||< ===Overbeek=== ||< ===Maher=== ||< ===Farmer=== || ===Vincent=== ||< ===Total=== ||
 * ===less than 10 days=== || 0 || 0 || 4 || 1 || **5** ||
 * < ===10 to 20 days=== ||< 21 ||< 6 ||< 20 || 11 ||< **58** ||
 * < ===20 to 30 days=== ||< 5 ||< 16 ||< 0 || 13 ||< **34** ||
 * < ===More than half our seeds will not germinate.=== ||< 0 ||< 0 ||< 1 || 2 ||< **3** ||

OBSERVATIONS

 * ===Students are visiting the garden each Friday in September and October.===
 * ===Each week they weed, create a drawing, write observations, and predict what they expect for the next week.===

HYPOTHESIS #2 (insert date): We will be able to harvest our food by...

 * < ===Hypothesis=== ||< ===Vincent=== ||< ===Maher=== ||< ===Farmer=== || ===Overbeek=== ||< ===Total=== ||
