Thurs 5/26/2005 3:20 PM - Dr. C. Hemingway: Hello, Kings of Science. I am interested to hear more about your experiment. How do you to plan to test for differences in growth? Tell me more about the control and test conditions you are using. What influenced your decision to soak the seeds in dye for 3 minutes per day? I am looking forward to following your research. Good luck.

Wed 6/1/05 10:20 AM - Dr. J. Osborn: Hello Kings: I see that you have had some trouble with keeping your seeds alive. It is disappointing and frustrating when something like that happens. However, set-backs are common in science and they often provide valuable information for moving the experiment along. It seems to me that you think they died because you couldn't water them over the weekend. If you are able to restart your seeds you could test this idea. It is also possible that you started with seeds that weren't viable. I think you did a great job arranging your measurements and observations in a table so that they are easy to compare.
