Experiment 2
Comparing Germination Times: How fast can seeds grow?
Purpose/Hypothesis
Each seed type has an average germination time. The seed waits for the correct conditions to occur. For example, if a seed emerged after the first warm day in spring, it might get caught by a late frost and die. So the seed may wait for consistent conditions that are ideal for growth.
In this experiment, the goal is to compare the germination time for two different varieties of seeds. Before you begin, make an educated guess about the outcome of this experiment based on your knowledge of seed growth. This educated guess, or prediction, is your hypothesisAn idea in the form of a statement that can be tested by observation and/or experiment.. A hypothesis should explain these things:
