Name: Class: Date: Title Aim Stage in the germination of seeds To study the conditions needed for seed

germination.

Hypothesis A seed will germinate only if there is water, air and suitable temperature. The Scientific A seed germinate when it starts to grow radicle first and then the plumule. Three important conditions required

Knowledge for seed germination. Variables a)manipulated: presence of air & water b)responding: seed germination c)controlled: type of seed Materials Apparatus Diagram green peas ,cotton, cooled boiled water, labeling paper. test tubes, refrigerator, test tube rack, thread , ruler.

Method

1. Four test tubes are prepared, labeled A, B, C & D, with their contents as shown in diagram. 2. Test tubes A, B & C are placed in the laboratory. Test tube D is placed in the refrigerator. 3. The seeds are observed/ measured for three days.

Result Test tube A B C D Analyzing data Water / X / / Presence Air / / X / Warmth / / / X Germination of seeds / X X X

1. Radicle will grow and seed will germinate when there are water, air and suitable temperature. 2. If water is absent, the seed will not germinate.

Conclusion The hypothesis is accepted. A seed will germinate only if water, air and suitable temperature are present.
