Growing Project
One component of your Biology 213 experience is a propagation project that involves actively working with plants and living organisms. The propagation assignment is on the lab exercises website. In addition, you are encouraged to use the space we have been allotted in the BC greenhouse to do additional growing projects of your own design. The instructor will help you obtain the materials you need to complete your project as much as possible. Each student will be responsible for maintaining a daily journal of the propagation project, as detailed on the propagation exercise. The time needed for these projects will be outside of our normal class periods. Growing plants requires daily observation, including weekends. Your propagation journal should include the following:

• Purpose of the project
• Procedure - what did you do to start the project
• Daily record of your observations about the project Ð data recording) You are encouraged to keep a photographic or video record of your activities, which will help you to see the progress you and your plants have made during the ten weeks.
• Project summary - what happened, analysis and conclusions

Your growing project report and journal due date is listed on the class syllabus/calendar.
