Group 4 reflection

1. What was your hypothesis?
Our hypothesis was that a median temperature would create the lushest growth in a specific area, as well as a median ph and a median salinity. Also we felt that a higher water retention would create a lusher growth, but that too much water retention would have a negative impact.

2. Explain your experience in gaining and testing evidence. Any issues? Samples? Equipment?
I had a rather good experience in the gaining and testing evidence. We did not have many issues; we collected our 8 samples without much incident, though we did not get the soil borer we requested, therefore our samples are not all the same mass.

3. How was working in a group? What went well? What didn't?
We worked well in a group. We all pitched in and in the end came out with solid temperature readings and 8 samples to do further tests on.

4. How do you know that you gained scientific knowledge?
I know I gained knowledge because I empirically experienced it, and I know it's sciencetific because I was told it was; Knowledge by Authority.
