Reflection on the window farm project by Robert

Reflections on window farm

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.

We worked well when it came to watering the plants during term 1 and doing the blog.

But we did not do well when it came to watering in the holiday and communicating to organise it.

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

We are going to get a plastic box instead of our cardboard one.
 
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.

Yes we did make the right choices as the plants we had were suited for shady places like our side of the lab.

We had problems with our plants because we couldn't water during holidays.

What additional information do you know now about window farms that may have helped you in the beginning of the project?

It helped that I knew about the basic design and concept before this project. Also I knew how gardening worked from my last school.

 

REFLECTIONS ON GROUP WORK.

I think Tom and I work well in a group and were able to pull this project together pretty quickly.

Things I think need to be improved are handing in and communication. 

REFLECTIONS ON CHOICE OF PLANTS.

The plants that I chose were for the shady part of the lab but I should have thought about watering, I did not water the plants often enough.  I think I should have looked for plants that could survive only being watered every few days.

REFLECTIONS ON HUMAN INFLUENCES.

I think we had a large influence on this project because we had to take care of all  the needs of the plants which I failed terribly at. 😞

REFLECTIONS ON DESIGN AND BUILDING.

I liked building the window farm, but I thought the design part was hard because I thought we were wasting too much time on it.

During building my favorite part was testing the watering system, it was awesome.
