OK folks, there are some changes that can be made to improve this. These include finishing the two missing sections and these tips that follow:
Contents
Formatting links[edit]
There are a few ways to create links to external web sites in the wiki.
Descriptive option for use in text[edit]
The best type of link for most situations includes a description of the linked site. This description appears as the title of the link e.g. Useful Web Site. To create a link like this just type a link and the description, separated by a space and enclosed in single square brackets: [http://www.exelearning.org Useful Web Site]. This will create a link to the Useful Web Site that appears like this: Useful Web Site and should be used in conjunction with the full citation in literature cited.
Footnote format[edit]
Enclosing the link in single square brackets without providing a description: [http://www.exelearning.org] ...will display the link as a number in brackets, like this: [1]. This format looks like a footnote and it should be used in conjunction with numbered full citations in literature cited.
For your citations section[edit]
Type in the full URL for the link: http://www.exelearning.org The wiki treats this text as a link like this: http://www.exe.learning.org and will display full web address. Use this format in your citations section so that users can work from a printout if needs be; avoid using this format in the main text of your lesson. This material adapted from here Once changes have been made, you should delete the text ''{{Links}}''from your page.
Formatting citations[edit]
To insure that a reader can reliably track down the specific book or article you intended, it is useful to provide the following information:
- Author(s) (last name followed by first initials; secondary authors: initials followed by last name); year; Book title or article title; publisher (for books) or Periodical title (for articles); volume and page numbers (both for articles)
Formatted examples:
- Brown, M.W. and C. Hurd. 1947. Goodnight Moon. Harper.
- Bentley, W.A. 1905. Studies of raindrops and raindrop phenomena. Monthly weather review. 32. 450
Once changes have been made, delete the following text: {{citations}}
Using Galleries[edit]
I notice that you have several images on your page. It may be useful to organize them in a gallery. The format is quite simple:
The following captioned gallery was added to this page using this syntax:
<gallery caption="Data set 1;Valentine's Day snow storm 2007, South Burlington Vermont">

</gallery>

student worthiness[edit]
Can you call it tested yet? Are you happy with the results?
Area covered[edit]
Let's tuck in seedling morphology, germination, experimental science. Remember that although you are testing temperature etc, this system could be used to test a wide range of parameters you may not have considered. So drop in a suggestion that other factors could be tested.
Materials[edit]
fertilizer: add a note encouraging folks to follow the directions on the package.
Handout looks good[edit]
description of activity[edit]
- add a mention of measurement.
- Give all of your photographs a numbered caption:Figure 1. Examples of beans germinating in a bag You can then refer to them by number in the text (Fig 1)
lesson plan[edit]
- Paragraph 2. grammar check
- first bullet point Miracle grow for example.....add importance of labeling
- third bullet: grammar
- bullets 4 & 6 spelling
Literature[edit]
list full citations of books you have in mind
Formatting citations[edit]
