Give participants a few moments after each presentation to record a score. After all have presented, collect the scores, average them, and award the Gourmet Gene Silver Ribbon Award to the highest scorer. Hand out copies of Activity Sheet 4.3C and review the information.

If there were a way to keep the beetles from munching the plant, you could grow more potatoes.
