Where does art meet science, and how can we get there? I created a ceramic vase that has an orifice for water drainage, and a small plate to collect excess water. It has an additional hole in one of the walls of the pot that allows for a drip irrigation system to be incorporated, with either a tube or (in my case) a flip-straw water bottle. In my AP Environmental Science class, we learned about degrees of tolerance for certain plants in relation to salinization of water using radish seeds as a sample, and thanks to this vase I created in pottery class, I achieved to make it aesthetic.
