This week in science #2

   This week in science I learned about Brassica Rapa. Brassica rapa is a very rare weed.It is rare because it is genetically bread to have very unique characteristics.It was founded in the 18th century and was said cure cancer but was not scientifically proven correct.It was also said to poison animals such as pigs,sheep,and bovine.I learned that this plant is very rare that it cost a lot of money to buy only a couple of seeds even though it is just a weed.Me and my class are now going to plant the Brassica rapa seeds and watch how they grow.It is said to grow the fastest out of any plant.
