Research Question |
Which seed germinates faster between buck wheat and corn? |
Predictions |
If the plants are put in the same growing conditions, then the buckwheat will germinate faster. |
Experimental Design |
Our plan is to use 20 seeds of each type and see which plant grows more effectively under the same conditions. We will cut off the top half of 4 plastic water bottles. There will be a thin layer of sand placed on the bottom of the bottle before we put in the soil. !0 seeds will be placed in each growth chamber. When we begin the experiment, we will give each growth chamber 10 full pipettes of tap water. Then we will continue to give each growth chamber 5 full pipettes of tap water each day of the experiment. The growth chambers will not be held under a growth light. |
