    Marcus Edwards and Aidan Jones propose an honors biology project to test how adding vitamin B12 to water affects plant growth over 15 weeks. Two plants of the same species will receive water with dissolved B12, while two control plants will receive only tap water. The students will document plant growth weekly through journal entries and a blog with photos, tracking any differences between the test and control groups. Their goal is to see if extra energy from B12 leads to enhanced plant growth beyond what plants produce naturally.
