4. Kluz - St.Louis 4 Problem Statement How will the addition of 600-1200 milligrams of calcium to the water being given to Radish seeds and the amount of seeds being grown with each seed affect the germination rate of the plant?

5. Kluz - St.Louis 5 WHAT: -Germination of radish seeds -Affected by calcium and space to grow WHY: -Find amount of solution for the quickest radish germination rate

6. Kluz - St.Louis 6 Importance Used as Biofuel Creating Less Harmful/Polluting Fuel Fastest Way to Produce

7. Kluz - St.Louis 7 Materials

8. Kluz - St.Louis 8 Factors Calcium SolutionAmount of Space

9. Kluz - St.Louis 9 Application of Factors Calcium : -Photosynthesis -Enzyme Conversion Space : Best Cultivation- Less Competition-

10. Kluz - St.Louis 10 Procedures Prepare paper towels Place in bags

13. Kluz - St.Louis 13 Hypothesis: By adding 1200 milligrams of calcium to the water being given to one seed, the germination rate will be the quickest.

14. Kluz - St.Louis 14 Data – Trial 1 Days to Germinate Treated Seeds (Calcium, Number of Seeds) +, ++, -Standard-, +-, - 1153512

15. Kluz - St.Louis 15 Data – Trial 2 Days to Germinate Treated Seeds (Calcium, Number of Seeds) +, ++, -Standard-, +-, - 1054311

16. Kluz - St.Louis 16 Data – Trial 3 Days to Germina te Treated Seeds (Calcium, Number of Seeds) +, ++, -Standard-, +-, - 12434

17. Kluz - St.Louis 17 Interaction Effect of Factors

18. Kluz - St.Louis 18 Analysis Why did the seeds in the standard treatment grow the fastest?

19. Kluz - St.Louis 19 Growth of Seed

20. Kluz - St.Louis 20 Outcome Hypothesis was rejected Standard germinated the quickest There was an interaction between calcium and space

21. Kluz - St.Louis 21 What Have We Learned? Calcium and amount of space do have an effect on germination of radish seeds An excessive amount of calcium does not benefit the seed More space allows the seed to germinate more quickly
