My 20 Time Project

  In my biology class, we have decided to do a 20 Time project. A 20 Time can be a project or anything that requires one to learn about a subject that interests them and find out more about it. The name of it comes from how you should spend around 20% of your class time to work on your project. A 20 Time project has to interest you, for you will have a couple of months to achieve your goal of answering the question you have asked yourself.
  For my 20 Time, I have decided to create an experiment. The question I have made is, " Can one grow a plant, so that it grows bigger, without using any chemicals or GMO's?" I chose to perform this experiment because ever since we learned in Biology that the only real way to fight hunger is by using transgenic organism, but I want to test whether you can plant some plants in different conditions that might result in larger quantities of food being created. This experiment will answer my essential question by showing be that may be plants do grow as big if you place them in the best conditions, than the plants that are transgenic. Because we have a couple of months to accomplish this project, I have many goals. My first goal is to find out what are some of the best conditions I could expose the plants to, that can be reproduced around the world. Another goal of mine is to keep the plants alive by watering them accordingly and caring for them. My last goal is to compare the size of a plant I grew to one that was transgenic, that we can find at a supermarket. I will measure my progress with the growth of the plants and the data I will collect throughout the experiment. My plan moving forward is to first start with planting the plants that I want to plant, and I also plan to use some of my time of the day for this experiment until the due date of the project for my biology class. In summary, I will be doing a 20 Time project for the next months in my biology class.
