NO LATE WORK Microgreens: Last Semester's Results

As we have discussed, a key part of the scientific process is exploration and discovery.  This allows scientists to observe the natural world and find ideas that are worth testing. 

 So far, we have emphasized doing this through the nature journaling process, but there is another key method of exploration and discovery:  Exploring the Scientific Literature.  There is no way that any one person can explore all of the relevant parts of a system, no matter how dedicated, talented or hardworking.  The scientific community relies on shared knowledge and information via peer reviewed journals.   These are journals where an expert in a subject ( the ''peer'' in the field) reviews a research article and evaluates it for errors or flaws.   We will be working with this type of literature in our Scientific Claims Assessment.
