Dr. Nix and I agreed that the observation of Mrs. Theriot and I is true, that this lesson is adaptable for any grade level and or group of students in any setting, even when having to change the variables such as plants to voices, after school rather than in school, etc.

Dr. Nix discovered, upon futher inquiry, that there is a Brassica tea and juice, wondered if they were from the same plant.  Her research revealed that all is connected via the mustard cabbage family.  Ah ha...yet another set of connections.

One conclusion is that it is not only good for the caterpillers, but good for us too.  Question:  is the variety the same or is there a variety specially for human consumption?  This too seems to be a part of our food chain and pyramid.

Tea, known for its healing and soothing properties, is a proven tonic for the voice; as well as digestion, blood purification, etc.  This is information relative to Dr. Nix's choir and my client needs.  Yes, even more research is needed by us to give true credibility to our respective disciplines.  Yet, the basis for adapting and including is evident.

How connected are we in and as the environment?  Well, we are seemingly connected to the cabbage white butterfly...
