Cycles and Our Plants This week, I noticed that our plants have grown a lot and are a lot taller. I also observed that they are a lot bigger compared to other plants. Our plants play a big role in the water cycle due to the fact that they absorb the water in their roots and help it return back into the atmosphere when it evaporates from their leaves. This, transpiration, relates to my observations because the plants absorbing the water helped them grow. In the carbon cycle, our plants participate in photosynthesis and respiration. This cycle affected my plants because it keeps them alive. To add on, in the nitrogen cycle, our plants use nitrogen to make proteins, which can then be consumed my animals. The plants' nitrogen uptake keeps them alive. -By Natalie Martinez
My Bio My name is Isabella Pellegrini, I don’t have much experience gardening however my grandpa and grandma did have a garden when I was younger at their house. I do not remember doing much to it but I would go outside with my grandpa and watch him water and replant some plants. At the time I was way too scared to even touch it because of all the insects inside of the dirt. But my grandma on the other side of my family is also into gardening and has a lot of plants that she loves to take care of and when she is out of town she tells me to always take care of them. As you can see I don’t have much experience gardening and I don’t know how to do much but I would love to try.
My Bio My name is Natalie Martinez. Since I was born, I have lived in San Jose. I have very little gardening experience due to the fact that I never had a garden. However, I have grown plants at my elementary school and I used to help my grandpa in our garden before we moved. At my elementary school, we grew carrots, tomatoes and lemons. I remember checking on the plants weekly and being so excited when they were fully grown and taking them home. My main inspiration for gardening is my grandpa. At our old house, my grandpa planted a big garden in our backyard and watered the plants every morning. He would also tell my sister and I when the plants were old enough so that we could take them out of the ground. My grandma on the other hand, is a master in the kitchen. She likes to make a lot of Colombian traditional food and she makes natural juices using the plants in the garden. I hope to be able to learn these traditional foods and have my own garden in the future. -Na...
