EXPERIMENT PLANNING Name: Class: Date:16 Jun 2008 1.0 Title: Stages in the germination of seeds 2.0 Aim: To study the conditions needed for seed germination 3.0 The hypothesis I am testing: A seed will germinate if there is water, air and suitable temperature All the variables that could affect my investigation: -Conditions for seed germination -type of seed - germination of seed. Group members:
C12:3
C12a C12b
C12c
4.0 a) Variables I decide to change ( Manipulated variable): Conditions for seed germination - presence of air & water only b) The variable that will change as a result ( Responding variable): -seed germination c) The variable that I will keep the same(Controlled/ Fixed variable): -Type of seed 5.0 Equipment I will need to use: C12d
Materials: green peas ,cotton, cooled boiled water, labeling paper Apparatus: test tubes, refrigerator, test tube rack, thread 6.0 Brief outline of how I will carry out the experiment: Diagram: C12g
Procedure: 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 C12f 3. The seeds are observed 7.0 Observation: 7.1

8.0 Analysing Data: 8.1 State relationship between manipulated variable and variable observed: - seed will germinate when there are water, air and suitable temperature - If warmth(suitable temperature )is absent, the seed will not germinate 9.0 Conclusion: - The hypothesis is accepted -A seed will germinate only if water, air and suitable temperature are present.
