| Research Question | How fast will a corn seed grow compared to buckwheat? |
| Predictions | We think that the buckwheat will grow faster because corn has to be grown in a very specific season. |
| Experimental Design | 1.get petri dish 2.get paper towel wet 3.pick out seeds 4.put seeds on petri dish and put lid on top 5.watch the seeds germinate! 6. record results paper towel wet |
| Conclusion | Over all, our data came out to be inconclusive. After the six days of investigating, we found that the buckwheat had germinated more than the corn. The reason our data is inconclusive is because the data shows all of the corn seeds germinated but only 7 of the buckwheat seeds germinated. The other three buckwheat seeds did nothing. We think these seeds did not germinate because they may have been over watered or under watered the seeds. |
