| Research Question | How will the type of water impact germination? We came up with this by wondering if Sprite does anything. It also fits what we know because it expands our knowledge. |
| Predictions | The liquids that are not plain water will not grow as well. We think this is because the salt could kill the plant and Sprite is carbonated. |
| Experimental Design | We will be testing the type of liquid, and as it grows we will measure the cm grown from the roots to the tip of the plant's leaves or stem. We will keep the amount of liquid and time of watering the same. When we record our data it will be the date, the amount of growth, and put it on a slideshow or paper. |
| Conclusion | The claim we can make from our experiment - If you use any liquid other than regular water then the seeds won’t germinate as well. The explanation for this is because the sugar or salt in other drinks dry up all of the regular water when introduced to something new. Our data supports this by showing that salt water grew none and Sprite Zero didn’t grow as well as reg. water. Future experiments could be how does the amount of salt in water impact germination, or what kinds of Sprite grow best? |
