| Explore | One of the main things I remember about growing plants is that they need a large amount of natural sunlight. That’s depending on the type of plant it is. They require a routine of watering and sometimes fertilizing if you have it. Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure. The term is applied to the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm, the growth of a sporeling from a spore, such as the spores of fungi, ferns, bacteria, and the growth of the pollen tube from the pollen grain of a seed plant. |

| Research Question | How does the germination and propagation of pearl millet change the mineral content of the soil (K, N, P) and the pH? |
| Predictions | As the plants grow the mineral content will decrease |
| Experimental Design | we will have 6 pots, 6 seeds in each pot. We will keep two pots fertilized and 4 pots we will measure N, P, K and pH of the soil as the seeds germinated and grow for 4 weeks. |
