This experiment was very different than any experiment I had ever done in a science class.  I enjoyed how we created the entire experiment by ourselves in stead of just being given one step by step and just trying to find results.  I enjoyed the long term work as our group bonded and worked well together.  Although creating our own experiment was fun, it was challenging as well.  We had ideas but we were not sure exactly how we would make them work or if things would turn out the way we wanted too.  Another difficulty we had was trying to figure out how much water to use while watering the fast plants.  Because the fast plants direction book only showed how to set up the self watering system, we did not know how much water we should use each day while using our system.  This led to a few complications as our plants seemed to be receiving too much water in the beginning.   Personally to improve the work of the experiment I could have been slightly more specific in my measurements.  Our entire group as a whole was not too great at this part of our experiment and if we had measured more specifically we could have gotten more specific results for our growth of our plants.  I don't think there is anything about our experiment that you should be specifically aware of but I do think that this experiment was a learning experience as it was much different from experiments we have done in previous years and previous classes and I think we will have an easier time with the next experiment and we will be more aware as to what to do and how to keep our testing and measuring more precise.
