"I do hope you've listened to your peers responses as well, they raised some particularly important points which I'm not going to repeat." She glanced at Josh briefly before scanning the rest of the class.

"Now, we know that the impact is an important part of the process, can anybody tell me what height the seed should be dropped from in order for it to crack on impact effectively?"

Alyssa thought for awhile, raised her hand and answered."Professor, I am guessing that the most effective height would be about 5 feet. But could the height from which the seed is dropped be just one factor to consider? Should we also consider how much force was used to drop the seed plus the angle at which the seed was dropped from? For example if the seed was dropped from maybe four feet but the force at which it was thrown was super, super fast and strong, and the angle of impact was such that it hit at the most fragile part of the seed, could that also cause the seed to crack on impact?"Alyssa asked hoping that she was making sense because for some weird reason the beautiful colors of the seeds were so mesmerizing that she was having a tough time concentrating.
