Reflection by Thomas Mudge

Each individual needs to reflect on how the group worked and state 2 ways in which group worked well and 2 ways in which the group did not work well together. 


I,Thomas Mudge think that the my group consisting of Robert and I are an effective group even though that we left the window farm at home.

What our group did that worked well:

• Working on the blog
• Watering our window farm during term 1.

What our group needs to improve on:

• Communication with each other about who should of taken the window farm home
• A better watering system so that our plants could of lasted longer.

Design and building of the window farms and any modifications that have been made before and after the holidays.


Modifications that have/are going to be made:


A   black plastic crate is going to be used to hold the water reservoir instead of the decaying cardboard box that has been used.



Choice of plants and growth of plants in window farm – did you make the right choices? Did everything grow? Any problems with pests? Explain these and other factors and how they affected the growth of the plants.

As our presence was unavailable our plants perished as they didn't get enough water.Therefore we should of chosen more hardier plants

What influences have we (humans) had on the window farms?  Describe these.
The influence that,we humans have had on the window farm caused the plants to shrivel up 
 and die as we did not water them and never got to the classroom to water.

·         What additional information do you know now about window farms that may have helped you in the beginning of the project?                                                                                                                                                                                                      I know that it is better to use seedling than seeds.
       That window farms don't need a lot of water.
c      Mint can resprout again if it has died.
