Science
Science this quarter, we have been learning about Biology. It is mostly talking about plants, such as flowers and methods of how to plant it. We did a lot of worksheets, which is to fill in the blanks from powerpoints that the teacher showed us. Towards the quarter we did an experiment about it, essay and test. But for this subject i have chosen the essay and it is about the method of how to plant the plants.
Artificial Propagation
Application
Plants normally reproduce through seeds, spores or reproductive naturally. But artificial propagation is a different way to grow seeds[A1] . It does not grow naturally but it grows by Man. [A2] It is the growth of plants carried out by man and not naturally[A3] . In order to do the process of artificial propagation, there are methods needed. Ssuch as Cutting, Grafting, Marcotting and Budding. The method of cutting is to cut sections of roots, leaves or stems to produce the same plant[A4] . These pieces[A5] are usually dropped into a hormone solution and it will be planted half-way with soil. The second method is grafting, grafting is to join a branch from a tree with a root from another tree. These two pieces will be cut, so it will be perfectly fit and secure. The third method is Marcotting, Marcotting involves scraping the skin of the tree branch and then wrap the section in soil. The area where the skin was removed will grow roots. When this happens, the branch is going to be cut from the plant and it will grow by itself. The last method is Budding, during budding, cut vertically beneath the bark of a tree branch[A6] . A bud with a thin layer of wood will be put into the cut and to grow new tree. This process of reproducing plants is already science, this process is created to grow more plants faster. It is created because the world has lack of plants[A7] , which man made this process in order to grow more plants faster to solve the problem.
Effectiveness
The artificial propagation has a lot of impact to the world and human beings, which leads to a positive effect and negative. The advantage of artificial propagation is that this method allows them to produce new plants faster. The method also copies the same plant like its “mother” plant. Growing plants with this method is more easier and efficient because it does not need a lot of attention and checking how it goes.[A8] It will grow faster, where for example if you grow the plant and wait until it bears fruit, it will take years. But with this method it will grow much earlier[A9] . The process will create a better plant, which it will hold bad conditions or weather[A10] . Although this method has plenty advantages to the world, it also has a disadvantage. With this method you will get easy money[A11] , by using the process to sell the plants to customers or farmers. But it will consume[A12] money because to carry this method, you will need certain tools and plants to make the method work.
One World Factors
Environment
This method will help the environment by spreading more plants around the world. Where nowadays the world is endangered by the problem so called global warming. Where we have lack of plants, trees and such things all over the world. With this new method called artificial propagation, we can use it to spread new plants quickly which the global warming can be prevent[A13] . It will help the world by making it not endangered anymore, the ozone will be fixed, more oxygen and it will not be as hot as it is nowadays[A14] .
Economic
This method also is useful for economics, where people now can sell it[A15] in shops or florists. They can have a lot of stocks, because with this method they can grow a lot of plants with faster results. Then they will sell it to customers, and probably import it to countries with a specific[A16] plants or get samples of specific plants from other countries to be used and grow it and sell[A17] a higher price here. But it also will unbenifit, because the method needs an expensive tools [A18] and certain plants.
Social[A19]
This method can also be social, where we can create a community and gather lots of people to use this method and carry lots of plants. Where it can be planted in a certain area with bad condition of plants [A20] or a certain area which it doesn’t have any plants on it[A21] . With gathering people, it will be useful to socialize with the people and to know them[A22] more. Also you can hire people to be paid for doing the method and use the result for selling it to get money.

A: 4
B: 4
Reflection:
For this essay, I say that I did quite good because for the 2 criteria I have received a 4 out of 6, for me the grade is acceptable. But I'm not really satisfied cause I know I could get a higher grade, so in the future I will try to improve my grades by researching more information and consulting with the teacher more in order to get a higher grade.
AOI
For the first part of the AOI i have took action into writing the essay about the artificial propagation, which took me to think really hard creatively in order to create the idea into a creative thing, changing the structure and information creatively for the readers to not get bored. Then I need some exploring, which took me to research on the internet in order to get possible answers and information for the essay to create a desire and development of change. Also towards the essay it took me to describe of products of innovation.
