Meeting 1

Yesterday we met at 7:30 in the commons to discuss our project. We went over what we had already done and spoke about our lab and presentation. Gwynne and I arrived first and did a small reflection for the group, going over our strengths and weaknesses and evaluating our labwork. We also went over her slides, as she was a little confused about what to say. I had done the majority of the research and was studying our topic in bio so I was able to expand on what we had on the slide. The rest of the group arrived at around 7:45 and we practiced reading out our slides together. There was a little confusion at first as to who was reading out what, but we found the plan we had created and everything was made clear.

After we had finished practicing our slides we discussed the lab. Our beans are currently in the biology lab, but there was a little trouble regarding temperature over the last few days. The temperature increased too much and the beans were not adequately hydrated. However, we managed to move them yesterday to a more stable location and we have been watering them consistently. Some of the seeds have broken their testas, but I have not been able to observe whether or not the plumal is actually visible.

To conclude, we still have to do a little more research and put in our lab results, but our presentation is basically complete and we have practiced our presentation and know what we are doing. We are definitely getting better at working as a group and I feel that we have all formed stronger friendships as a result.
