Post Project Research Plan

Research Plan and Post Project Summary Will microwaves positively or adversely affect the growth of grass seeds? This experiment could shed light on the effects of radiation on living things. This information could be valuable not only to other scientist who could perform related experiments, but society as a whole as it could provide more information on the negative and or positive effects of radiation. While there is no clear consensus that microwaves will damage grass seeds, there are many studies that point towards that conclusion. First, according to a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, seed exposure to high doses of gamma rays disturbs the protein synthesis, hormone balance, leaf gas exchange, and enzyme
This experiment will test whether or not radiation will help or hurt grass seed growth. This experiment will also test whether or not radiation will help or hurt grass seed germination. If the experiment goes according to plan, the most reasonable hypothesis based on the research is that the radiation will negatively affect both the plant growth and
First, the necessary materials must be gathered. These include 250 grass seeds, 25 paper cups, 3675 mL of soil, approximately 50 paper towels, a microwave oven capable of being used at 100 Hz, 500 Hz and 900 Hz, one measuring cup (to measure materials), one liter of water, 125 cm of masking tape, a Sharpie marker, an environment with ample sunlight and air, a ruler with centimeter markings, a stove capable of heating up to 34°C, a metal pot capable of holding up to 100 mL, a thermometer, and a stopwatch (a stopwatch application on a device will also
