Destination Germination


"Do seeds need light to germinate?" is the question we are investigating in our current science unit on plants. We gathered our materials including: beans, soil, 1 clear cup marked "A", 1 clear cup marked "B", water, one box with a lid marked "A", and one box without a lid marked "B". Next, we soaked our northern dried beans in water for a few hours to soften the seed coat and speed up the germination process. Then we went outside to the various stations to complete the initial steps of our experiment.









Wah lah!!!! We are ready to put our A and B cups in their respective boxes and wait to see the answer to our hypothesis: Plants do need light to germinate OR Plants do not need light to germinate. Stay tuned for our results.
