Seed Germination Experiment: Aim: To Investigate The Following Factors Affecting Seed Germination (Water, Light and Air)
Aim: To investigate the following factors affecting seed germination (water, light and air). Choose one
of the factors affecting seed germination and carry out your experiment.
Materials:
soil
2 transparent plastic containers
6 legume seeds ( beans or lentils)
Stage 1:
* Prepare 2 plastic containers with soil (5 cm) and plant 3 bean seeds in each of them (3cm above the bottom).
* Water them when the soil is dry.
*Check daily until the first sprouts germinate. (The first sign a seed is sprouting is when the seed coat breaks
open and the root pushes out)
Stage 2: IMPORTANT. You can start stage 2 ONLY if your seeds have germinated.
Instructions:
*Water the “control” container.
*Water the “no air” container. Place it in Ziplock bag and seal it.
*Water the “no light” container. Place it inside the shoe box. No light should be allowed.
*Place the “control”, “no air” and “no water” containers near a window.
Stage 3:
*Check each sprouts every two days, water them when the soil is dry, except the “no water” container.
*Measure the height of the sprouts and record it in a chart. (You can take pictures to see how they are growing)
*Write conclusions about the experiment.
