This figure shows the project workflow to grow seedlings and phenotype leaf and root characteristics. The project started with cohort recruitment, followed by training, followed by planting the experiment. Approximately 15 days post germination leaf #4 of the plants are ready for measurement. When leaf four stops growing, the experiment is harvested, and roots are washed and measured. The experimental data is then analyzed by the cohort [8]. This structure can be used for any plant or soil course that wants to incorporate experiential student learning into the curriculum
