Write an activity to prove that which soil is beSt sutable For germInation of seeds and growth of plants use steps involved in scientific method of study and resolving problems
Answers
Explanation:
The students will design and conduct their own experiment based on
some general background information they receive. This experiment
will be based on seedling germination and plant growth. Students
will come up with their own variables to test and then conduct their
own experiment. They will create a poster presentation of their
research project.
Objectives
• Students will be able to understand the basic requirements for
plant growth.
• Student will develop questions to test for a scientific
experiment.
• Student will follow scientific method by carrying out the
experiment they develop.
Materials

Making Connections
Students will make connections to “Lesson 2: Seed Anatomy” and
“Lesson 5: Scientific Method” by using knowledge they have gained
in these lessons to create their own experiment on seed germination
