| Discovery Notes | It was 74 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and I collected my soil near a cigarette disposal site, as per the recommendation of my instructor. It had not rained in quite some time, so the soil was dry, and nearly cracked. The soil also had nothing covering it, so I took from the top layer. |
| Naming Notes | "Gelderland" was chosen, as it pays homage to the film "A Knight's Tale" in which a man changes his fate in order to live his dream. This was important to me, since after much initial difficulty, I was finally able to successfully run all of the experiments within the program. |
