Research:

Method:

Equipment

  • jar
  • water
  • can (optional)
  • soda bottle (optional)
  • rocks and plants
  • soil
  • moss

(by the way I’d highly advise to do this at home)

Instructions

  1. get your equipment ready
  2. put rocks/pebbles in the jar so they’re at the bottom
  3. put some soil in the jar but not too much to where it takes up the whole jar
  4. add moss into the jar
  5. if you want to do a quick terrarium build, add already grown plants to the jar

Germinating seeds

Aim:

I want to find out how to successfully germinate seeds.

Research:

Method:

Equipment

  • plastic cup
  • cotton wool
  • paper towel
  • soil
  • bean seeds
  • water

Instructions

  1. be sure to hydrate the seeds overnight
  2. get your equipment ready
  3. write your name on the cup
  4. put the cotton in the cup
  5. wet the cotton with some water. make sure you don’t add too much or too little water
  6. put a seed on top of the cotton
  7. leave the plastic cup by the window
  8. water the plant every time you come into science.

Results

put some photos of your experiment here

Conclusion:

The germination went fairly well from the moment we put the seeds in the beaker to present day. They grew to a decent size within a few days.

Discussion:

Write a paragraph of the science behind growing seeds

what does a seed need to grow?

Oxygen to respirate, water to hydrate and sun.

how does a seed germinate?

It thrives on its surroundings and atmosphere to germinate.

what comes out of the seed?

a plant.
