Krispy Kream

Project by group dmsgrayspring2019

Explore They come out of the ground. They have leaves or flowers. We eat some types of plants. They go through photosynthesis.
Research Question 1. What seeds germinate the fastest 2. Does the amount of water used effect how fast the seeds germinate 3. Does the amount of sunlight used effect how fast the seeds germinate
Predictions If the amount of water is higher Then the seeds will germinate faster. Why are group thinks if we add more water to a plant the plant will grow faster
Experimental Design Were doing Alfalfa plant. independent variable, amount of water dependent variable, how fast the seeds germinate materials alfalfa seeds, water, timer, measuring cup
Conclusion If you give more water to an alfalfa seed it will germinate faster. We gave Dish #8 4 millimeters of water each day (80 drops of water from a dropper). We gave Dish #1 .5 millimeters of water each day (10 drops of water from a dropper). That is some evidence of why a alfalfa seed germinates faster with more water. Here is evidence of why alfalfa seeds germinate faster with more water. If the water is available, alfalfa will use more water than most other crops because of its long growing season.... Water use efficienty is the greastest during cool to moderate temperatures, especially during spring. Alfalfa is a deep rooted perennial crop. That is reasoning why alfalfa seeds germinate faster with more water.
