| Explore | We know that over certain periods of time they start to germinate, and for them to grow they need the right environment including soil and they need water and the right temperature. |

| Research Question | How does the amount of water affect how corn germinate? |
| Predictions | If we put a lot of water on the plant every week then it wont grow that much. If we don't put enough on it then it won't grow as much. |
| Experimental Design | 1 Take 40 corn seeds and divide them with 10 seeds in each plastic bag with a dry paper towel (4 bags) 2 Then take one bag and put 3 ml of water in 3 Then take another and put 6 ml 4 Take another and put 9 ml 5 Take the last one and put 12 ml 6 Water every day 7 See how the water affects how the seed germinates by measuring how long the stem is over a time span 8 All water is room temperature |
| Conclusion | CLAIM:The plant that got 6ml of water twice a week grew the most cause it was the perfect amount. EVIDENCE:Several of the out comes were very intresting but the 6ml plant over time started at 2cm but ended up growing to 19cm over the week, compared to the other amount of water the plants grew at a much slower rate for example the 9ml plant ended up growing 9cm compared to 19cm. Overall that was part of our data that showed how the 6ml plant grew the most. REASONING:There are several tips and facts about germination, the plants shell will burst once the plant gets the correct amount of water. Overwatering limits the amount of oxegyn that the roots depend on. Also when a plant gets overwatered it doesnt increase the amount of growth but rather it will kill the plants. But if the plants dont get enough water then they may die before they even germinate. |
