Project Information
Many students think of the scientific method as a step-by-step process that all scientists follow in order. But real research is rarely so neat and tidy…it is really more of a research cycle or spiral because things you learn in one step can change your ideas about what you’ve already done or about next steps.
It is OK to change your thinking! We encourage you to go back and edit things you write in this section at any time as your ideas change. Just remember to explain your changes in your updates feed.

Research Question | How will the color of light effect the germination of the Glycine max? |
Predictions | If colors of light effect germination rate, then the Glycine max will have a higher germination rate under red light. |
Experimental Design | Our group set up the experiment by using 7 boxes. We cut holes in the tops of the boxes then covered the holes with filters of each color besides the control. The control was left open. Each box contains 3 petridishes. Each petridish has 5 seeds in them. We placed a damp paper towel under the seeds to keep them wet. We water them everyday, and record how many seeds have germinated. |
