Question/Problem:

Which seed will germinate faster a corn or bean in tap water, salt water or sugar water?

Hypothesis:

I think the tap water bean will germinate faster than the corn seed tap water. I think the salt water bean will rot at the same time with the corn seed salt water. I think the corn seed sugar water will smell sweet and the bean seed will not smell sweet.

Material:

3 bean seeds,3 corn seeds, soil, tap water, sugar water, salt water, 6 plastic plates,6 wet tissues

Procedure/Method:

  1. put water in all 6 plates
  2. we put all seeds in different plates
  3. We put tap water in one of the corn seeds and one of the bean seeds. Put salt water in another bean and corn seeds. Before we do any thing put sugar water in one of the beans and one of the corns.
  4. Lastly put them in a sunny spot and watch them grow for a few days.
