| Explore | Based on personal experience...During, my biology class in freshman year, we grew a bean at room temperature and it grew rapidly and successfully. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | Does the room temperature affect germination rate? |
| Predictions | If the temperature of the warming pad is higher, the germination rate will increase as well. |
| Experimental Design | The plan is to put it on a warming pad in room temperature and in a cool location while monitoring temperatures and germination rates. The temperatures will range from 10 to 100 degrees, and differentiate every ten degrees. (10,20,20,40,50,60,70,80,90,100) |
| Conclusion | In conclusion, our seeds hasn't sprouted, but two projects with the same investigation has sprouted. I can say that the seedlings without the heating pad has sprouted faster and the seedlings are taller than the seedlings on the heating pad. We came to realize that seeds don't grow faster with a heating pad. |
