Seed Stories



  David thought the plant was very big . He was shocked when he saw the plant. He was unentertained to see the plant and also questioned how it grew. David also saw insects crowding around the plant. He thought it grew by, from all the sun and water it was getting. At first he though the plant wasn't going to grow but it did. But when he saw it, it was bigger then him. He began to think about how photosynthesis had something to do with it growing so big. He learned that there are thousands of things living in one living thing, and how they are moving constantly inside them.

           Wilmer told me that he learned that before the Story of the Seed project he was curious on how the seeds will grow with the water we were using. Throughout the project he was amazed on how big it was growing in a short period of time. At first he saw that the plant wasn't growing as much so he thought it was dieing. But after a few weeks went by our teacher Mr. Bursch let us examine our plants to see how big they grew. When he saw it he was shocked on how big the plants grew. He said that he never knew that as small the seeds were that it can grow into a big plant with big leaves. Even i was surprised on how much and how big it grew. He cant wait till our teacher lets us go and see our plants and how much it grew. Wilmer said that this story of the seed project is fun because you get to learn a lot.

story of the seed plant

Juan thought the plant was very big. He was suprised when he saw the plant from up close. He was excited to see the plant and was wondering how it got to grow that big. Juan also saw a insect crawling on the plant. Juan said that he thought it grew, because  of the sun and the water it was getting. He thought the plant wasnt gonna grow that big, but then when he saw it it was almost as tall as him. He said photosynthesis had something to do with the plant growing so big. He learned that there is thousands of living thing in that one plant. He also thought that the animals were bad for the plant and he learned that some help the plant in different ways.

Seed Stories

          Vanessa told me that she learned more form doing the project than from watching someone else do it. She told me that she was really curious before we started The Story of The Seed project because she didn't really know the way plants grow.  She was very surprised when she saw the little tiny seed grow out leaves and little roots. She told me that before we started the lab she knew she was gonna need the help of Mr. Bursch to completely understand the way plants grow. She said that after a few weeks when she saw the plants again she was shocked because the plants didn't look small anymore. The plants were very big with a lot of leaves and roots. She told me that she was really excited when she got the chance to plant the plants. She knew that they were gonna grow quickly. Later on when she went to see how the plants had grown she was astonished because the plants now had veggies and they were huge. She never expected to see that much change. Lastly, she told me that she was amazed on how much a plant can grow with just water, soil, and light in such a short period of time.

My Bio.

I am Juan Barrientos. I have lived in San Jose my whole life. I live with my mother and my sister in our one story house on Minnesota Ave. I was once very open and active, but now I have become a shut in and have no real contacts with the outside world I stay in my room as soon as I get home and go on my computer with the door locked. At school I am only open to my friends or people i have known for a long time. So I am mostly silent in class and avoid working in groups. I don't know why I am like this but I am.
