Effect of Gravity
on Seed Germination |

|
Introduction
Research on different
environmental factors that may affect seed germination and plant
growth is a step towards understanding the mechanism of plant
behavior and it enables us to have more control on our agricultural
investment and productivity.
Gravity is one of the factors that needs to be studied and understood.
If you've ever planted seeds in the ground, perhaps you have
wondered just how do they know which way to grow. How do the
roots know to grow down and how do the stems and leaves know
to grow up?
Is it gravity, moisture or light that makes the root grow downward
and stem grow upward? |

Project
description
Design an experiment to determine what is the effect of gravity
on plant growth. Based on your initial studies make a hypothesis
and write it down. Do your experiments, record your observations
and draw a conclusion. This project needs 3 to 5 weeks to complete.
Include the plants that you use for your experiments in your
display to make it more interesting. |
