| Explore | In class we learned about germination and what the steps were. We already knew what plants needed to survive and about photosynthesis. Our question is what is a diploid embryo? |

| Research Question | How do different colored lights affect when a seed germinates? |
| Predictions | If we put seeds under different colored lights then the lights with more energy will make the seeds germinate sooner. If the light has more energy then the seed might absorb more energy |
| Experimental Design | 1.Wrap 10 buckwheat seeds in a damp paper towel put in a petri dish, repeat three more times 2. Set up a one red light above one petri dish, repeat for each light 3.Water each petri dish with 1 teaspoon of water every other day 4.Observe and collect data |
| Conclusion | Warmer lights make buckwheat seeds germinate sooner. Warmer lights generate more heat. The heat then made the petri dish closer to the plants ideal growing temperature for the seed to germinate in, with the give rooms temperature. |
