       We conducted fair tests on cress seeds to determine the conditions needed for germination and growth and here are the results from the East Wall jury:
Results: The seeds were examined after 14 days. 1) Seeds grown in light: These were the healthiest looking of all, with dark green petals and greenish-white stems. 2) Seeds kept in the dark: These had yellow petals and white stems. 3) Seedlings kept in the dark and grown with plant food contained in the tissue paper: These seeds failed to germinate. They were still brown in colour and were soft. Some of them had mould on them. Having finished the novel "Taking Sides" we were lucky to get the opportunity to meet the author Brian Gallagher (thanks to Marino Library) It was really interesting to hear the actual author talk about how he wrote the book, how he researched the historical details and how the publishing of a book happens. Well done to Courtney who came first in the Book Review Competition organised by the One Book, One Community committee.   |
