Seed+Growth+Experiment

We want to know if seeds can grow in soil,germx,sand or water.

4 jars for each test sand soil germx water grass seeds tape marker
 * We needed (materials)**


 * What did we do? (procedure)**

We prepared the jars by first having Ms. lehrke lable each jar. Second Kylie & Jamie fill the sand jar with wet sand. Third Chloe & Mallory fill the soil jar with wet soil. Then Carter fills a jar with germex and William filled a jar with water. Then each student put the grass seeds into the jar that they had prepared for this experiment. finally we placed the jars in a window to expose them to plenty of sunlight.



Thursday, February 17th, 2011 we watered the seeds in the soil and sand jars. Tuesday February 22nd, 2011 the seeds that were planted in the soil, sand, and water sprouted. The seeds that were planted in the germx did not sprout and the germx evaporated. It took 8days for the seeds to sprout. We were surprised to learn that seeds could sprout in only water. The following photos were taken 8 days after we planted the seeds.
