Emanual,

That's a great start! The next step is to identify which species you want to work with and then form a hypotheses. Your hypothesis should be based on some research about that plant species. For example, a species that is adapted to grow next to the ocean will probably have a different tolerance to salt than one that grows next to a river. Once you have picked out your species and done a little research about it and its tolerance to salt, then you can start planning your experimental design!

Hi Emanuel,

That is a really great idea, and I'm excited to work on this with you. Now that you have a general idea of the type of question you are interested in, the next step is to formally state your research question. For example, if I was interested in the relationship between germination and soil temperature, my research question could be something like, "At what temperature do seeds germinate most quickly?" Can you state your research question?
