Reflection on Planting a Sequoia by Dana Gioia The poem is narrated by a father who is mourning the death of his child through the planting of a sequoia tree. I found this poem interesting to read because of the irony that envelops the whole burial ceremony. In his hands‚ the father holds a small sapling wrapped with the umbilical cord of his demised son‚ who did not live long enough to grow up and become prosperous in life. In a similar way‚ the sequoia tree‚ when aged‚ bears no fruits. Thus‚ the

The Effects of Different Stress Levels on Bean Plants: Thigmotropism May 3‚ 2012 Abstract Bean plants were planted and rubbed a certain amount of times a day to apply stress. This was to see how plants might survive in a windy area or in an environment where they might be constantly touched or moved around. They were put under four different stress levels‚ and the plants were measured before the start of treatment to determine how they were being affected. The hypothesis was that those who

Using different chemical seed soaks to improve the rate of germination A 2013 Year 9 Science Project by Josh Martin Class Level 1 with Mr Box Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to determine which out of five readily available chemicals was the most effective at scarifying seeds to improve the rate of germination‚ and what concentration of the most effective chemical was the most efficacious. Ten seeds for each of the five chemicals hydrogen peroxide‚ glucose

Formal Analysis I’ve decided to do my formal analysis on an original painting done by Slava Ilyayev titled‚ “Passage to Spring”. I ran across this beautiful work of art at Fascination St. Fine Art north of Cherry Creek in Denver. UNITY: As you take a look at this piece‚ you can notice unity right away. The artist uses color‚ texture‚ and line to interweave this beautiful work of art together. Bright‚ analogous warm colors are unified throughout the piece including the reflection on the pathway

Mung Bean Growth with Different pH Levels Through this experiment‚ the objective was to find which pH liquid created the best environment for the Mung beans to grow. First‚ the beans were placed into bags with different pH liquids. Then‚ measurements were taken each day to monitor the growth average of the beans. The pH 2 beans average size at the end of the experiment were 0.24 cubic centimeters‚ the pH 7 size average was 0.38 cubic centimeters‚ and the size average of the pH 2 beans was 0.24

The results from the two petri dishes showed results that were anticipated. The Tap Water allowed the radish seeds to germinate with in the first 48 hours. In the petri dish labeled tap water‚ 10 out of 10 seeds sprouted into plant growth as seen in Figure 5.1. The radish plant growth within the tap water petri dish grew so well it started to lift the lid off the dish. The results from the Acid Rain (50% vinegar solution) did not allow any radish seeds to germinate. There were never signs of seed

The purpose of this experiment was to show the effects that acid rain has or does not have on seed growth and germination. The observation gathered from this experiment was that regular rain water that has a neutral pH is a better solution for seed growth. The seeds that were watered with the well water prospered more than the ones grown in the lemon juice solution. The results from this experiment were a little confusing‚ because in the first trial the seeds watered with well water germinated more
