The condition for seed germination 1)Aim: to determine the conditions required for germination of seeds Hypothesis: A seed

will germinate if there is water, air and suitable temperature Variables: manipulated variables: conditions for seed germination

responding variables: the germination of the seed constant variables: the type of seed materials: seeds, oil, cotton wool. Cooled boiled water, test tubes

observation: Test air water Warmth tube /haba A B C D ANALYSIS: 1)From your observation, state the conditions required for germination? ________________________ 2) what is the role of test tube A? _acts as a control germination YES/NO YES/NO YES/NO YES/NO

3) Give reasons why oil is used in test tube c? To prevent _air_____ from dissolving in the cooled boiled water conclusion: air, water and suitable temperature are required for germination of seeds

2)

1) radicle testa

plumule cotyledon

3) -the seeds absorb water through micropyl -Testa break -Radical grows downwards -The plumule grow upwards -The cotyledon becomes smaller and drops off
