EXPERIMENT PLANNING SHEET 1 Name: Class: 28 April 2008 C13-3 Group members:
Date: 1.0 Title: Stages in the germination of seeds 2.0 Aim: To study the conditions needed for seed germination 12a 3.0 The hypothesis I am testing: 12b A seed will germinate only if there is water, air and suitable temperature The scientific knowledge/theory I am using: A seed germinate when it starts to grow radicle first and then the plumule. Three important conditions required for seed germination. All the variables that could affect my investigation: -Conditions for seed germination - i)presence of air & water only/ ii) presence of air &warmth only/ iii) presence of water & warmth only - type of seed - total length of radicle/ germination of seed. [Students work in station to study each manipulated variable. Then combine results] 4.0 a) Variables I decide to change ( Manipulated variable): 12c Conditions for seed germination - presence of air & water only b) The variable that will change as a result ( responding variable): Total length of radicle / seed germination c) The Variable that I will keep the same(controlled/ fixed): Type of seed 5.0 Equipment I will need to use: Materials: green peas ,cotton, cooled boiled water, labeling paper12e

6.0 Brief outline of how I will carry out the experiment: Diagram: 12g
Procedure /Method: 12f 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.

8.0 What my results mean( Analysing/Interpreting Data): 8.1 State relationship between manipulated variable and variable observed/ measured[ hypothesis]: Radicle will grow in length/ seed will germinate when there are water, air and suitable temperature 15a 8.2 Explain consequence if one of the variables is absent.
C15-2
If water is absent, the seed will not germinate (because all three conditions are required for seed to germinate.)15b 9.0 Conclusion:
KHA/SMKDMM
9.1 How well do my results support my original hypothesis? The hypothesis is accepted

16b 9.2 A seed will germinate only if water, air and suitable temperature are present.
