2.  This project was mainly about the size of the seed and the size of the plants growth. To fin d out if the size of the seeds would determine the size of the plants growth we labeled every seeds with numbers and measured their widt h, length, and mass. After the plants growth we measured the plants from the top of the s oil and compared the two graphs we made be fore and after.

3.  Our hypothesis was that the size of the seed would determine the size of the plants growth.

4.  Larger seeds that grow faster are bigger and have better nutrient sources  “Large seeds favor the survival of seeding in t he face of common stresses such as herb ivor y, drought or shade”  If you used potted plants in a classroom or gr een house it may be difficult to extrapolate fr om your results to what would happen if the s ame plants were grown outdoors in a garden

5.  20mung beans  20corn kernel  40 beaker  1ruler  Paper/graph  Pencil/pen  Soil  Water  Measurement scale (gram)

6. 1. Get ready with 20 mung beans and 20 corn kernels 2. Use the ruler to measure the w idth and length and use the m easurement scale to measure t he mass 3. As you measure the size of the seeds write them down labelin g them by numbers 1-20 4. After measuring the seed label the beakers from 1-20 and pla nt the seeds with soil 5. Water the seeds every 2days 6. After the seeds are grown mea sure them from the top of the soil 7. Graph then compare the two g raphs.

8.  After our experiment we found that the size o f a seed does not determine the size of the pl ant. Though all the plant grew except 4, they were all different sizes and that the corn see med to grow to the size of the seed. The bea ns all grew different sizes, but the corns was the same for the same measurements. This m akes our hypothesis partially correct because the corn was valid and the mung beans were i nvalid.
