Students,

Observe and take pictures at every step.  Ensure that the paper towel remains wet (capillary action).

You will see an organ growing out first.  What is the name and the function of this organ?

Hello Students,

I am happy to note that you are starting the planning process for your experiment.  This is very critical for the success of the project.  Sometimes, we may plan for a month or more before we start experiments in the lab (not that I expect you to take that much time).

In terms of genetics, your are planning to look at traits (characteristics) that can easily be observed.    Many plants have both male and female parts in the same flower (we as humans do not).  Therefore, you can take the male part (pollen) and pollinate the female part (stigma and ovary).
