=== First Experiments === | |||
In the beginning of our semester, we were given some seeds to be grown at home. This was our first experiments for this class. I was growing Chia seeds (and also apple seeds that didn't really grow into anything) on a piece of cotton and inside a plastic bag. I have not done this since school time, so it was interesting and fun. During our first experiments in growing seeds, we documented our plants' progress. I documented it in form of pictures and diary entries. | |||

=== Motivation === | |||
After attending a few sessions of this class, I started brainstorming what could my topic of interest be. Honestly it was a bit confusing and challenging to try combining/connecting plants and electronics somehow. Before this bubble machine idea came up, I had some more ideas and sketched them in my notebook. In the end, I was interested in the respiration process of my plants and decided to make a bubble machine which can visualize the respiration process/cycle of my plants. | |||

Are my plants breathing? They seem fine, their leaves are green... but are they really okay? To observe my houseplants' respiration, a prototype of soap bubble maker machine is being developed. The quantity of soap bubbles will be in accordance to the CO<sub>2</sub> level of the plants' (closed) environment, divided into three categories: Low, Medium and High CO<small>2</small> level. | Are my plants breathing?
