Seed Lab I. Purpose/Question: A. What is the variable you are testing? Radish seed vs. Pea seed B. Question 1: How does seed type affect when the seeds germinate? C. Question 2: How does seed type affect the length of the stem? II. Research: List two pieces of information you learned about the variable you are testing below. The radish stem was longer. Both seeds germinated equally fast. III. Hypothesis: Make these an “If-then” statement and do not use pronouns (I‚ we‚ he‚

We are all made of corn. Take a strand of your hair. A recent study proved that if you are like the average American consumer today‚ your hair is 69% made of corn carbon. This is in contrast to the 5% of corn carbon that is in the hair of Europeans. Americans use more corn in their diet than anyone else‚ and the corn content of the American diet is partially responsible for our country’s widespread obesity and the prevalence of diabetes. America’s over-production of corn has serious consequences

The winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) is a twining‚ perennial herbaceous legume which can climb to 3-4 meters (Kantha and Erdman‚ 1985). As a leguminous plant‚ winged bean can be used in almost all parts of the plant. Fruit‚ leaves‚ flowers‚ bulbs and seed are edible and contain high protein and oil (Kotaru et al.‚ 1987; Dwiani et al.‚ 2014). The mature‚ dry seed is the most nutritious part of the winged bean.

rate of germination didn’t really vary between the number of paper towels throughout the experiment. Most of the seeds had germinated in the paper towels. The one outlier that was strange was the one paper towels. Only 14 of the 15 seeds germinated in that group. The difference that we could observation was the healthiness of the plants. IV. Conclusion Paragraph 1 Recap (Evidence): The purpose of our lab was to see if the amount paper towels would affect the germination of the seeds. My hypothesis
