| Explore | We know plants like sunlight and water. We also know that plants need good soil to grow good. From our research in class, we know that photosynthesis is when plants turn sunlight into energy. One question that interests us is how plants get stepped on and not die. |

| Research Question | What kind of liquid substance does a pearl millet seed thrive best in? |
| Predictions | I think that the seed will thrive best in the tea because it is more than just water. But i think the seed that will have the most flause is the coffee, and I think that the plain water and dye will grow almost the same because it is just water mixed with dye and then it is just plain water. |
| Experimental Design | 1. We will label the cup according to the liquid that is watering the plant 2. We will fill the cup up to the line 3. push the seed in 1/2 an inch deep 4. Then we will water it and see when it sprouts. |
| Conclusion | Our conclusion is that watering the plants with coffee was the best. These plants grew the strongest and grew the fastest as well. Pickle juice was the one who did the worst, all the plants molded and only a few of them actually sprouted. But even then they didn’t grow very tall. And water surprisingly did mid, it didn’t grow slow or fast. Although it was pretty strong, it was just about the same as the Dye Plants |
