|---|---|
| Research Question | Will different temperatures effect the germination of corn seeds? |
| Predictions | Room Temp will grow Highest, Heated 2nd highest , cold room lowest over the same amount of time |
| Experimental Design | Corn seeds, soil, water, cup, plant heater, Step 1: Gather materials Step 2: put soil in cups Step 3: Put the corn seeds in the soil Step 4: Put 10 corn plants in a cold room Step 5: Put 10 corn plants in a room at room temp. Step 6: Put 10 corn plants under a plant heater Step 7: Water the plants Step 8: Check the plants once a day for 2 weeks |
| Conclusion | We learned that corn plants grow very well under heat |
