The Effect of Salt on Radish Seed Growth along the Nelson River in Ensi county, Indiana. Autumn Acord Radish farms along the Nelson river had a recent lack of growth of their radishes. A landfill and a salt storage facility had recently opened along the river near the farms. Samples from the river were taken and used to grow radishes to see what caused the lack of growth. The salt storage facility had leaked into the river, causing samples B and D not grow. Introduction In Ensi County, Indiana

plants were not given water. During the following week, the flowers were opened and the seeds were collected from the dry seed pods. These were the seeds which were used to germinate the F2 generation. After the seeds were harvested, they were aloud to dry for one week. Paper towels with grids drawn upon them were laid out on the germination container and then the seeds were placed in each box. The seeds were sprayed using a spray bottle and then covered with the germination container top. A picture

Most of the seeds in vinegar solutions sprouted days later than the ones in the control group (water). Also, the seeds in vinegar ceased to sprout at all, due to the extreme acidity at a pH of three. The high acidity wore off the mottled coloring of the seeds. The data supports the hypothesis

the seed! You can grow a beautiful houseplant or even your own tree by following these simple steps. First, wash the seed. Second, dry it. Third, insert three toothpicks into its thickest part. Then fill a glass or empty jar with water. After that, suspend the seed in the water with the pointed end up and the broad end down. The water should cover about an inch of the seed. Next, put the glass in a warm place, but not in direct sunlight. Add water when necessary to keep the bottom of the seed under

Some finches inherited longer beaks, this allowed them to open more seeds and access more food. Inheriting the longer beaks is not proven, but any animal inherited traits just like humans. So gathering this information we can conclude that they inherit their long beaks. Having a long beak was crucial in order for the finches

Peterson was murdered by an employee, or whether it was a tragic accident. Based on the victim and suspect seeds collected

18 months to 2 years - Wet sand play, ice cube water play and washing dolls’ clothes and hanging them up to dry. 3 years to 5 years - planting a sunflower seed and watching it grow, making chocolate crispy cakes and finding out about floating and sinking in the water tray. 1.2. Describe a science activity for each age range. 18 months to 2 years (Wet sand play) - Adding water gradually to sand tray, so that children can feel how the texture of the sand changes as the water is added. Ice cube

indicated both seeds had germinated. Each plant produced one leaf (both on day 10). The leaves were light green in color and had a firm texture. The milk container was the only other container that had any growth at all. On day 11, one sprout appeared and curled up from the soil; however, the stem never emerged and by day 13, it had died. No other pot produced a plant. Processed Data: Data Analysis: Given the information, the only liquid good for the bean seeds was the water

and use our understanding to determine how the type of seed affects the rate of cellular respiration and why. We used six different kinds of seeds and categorized them into three general groups. Tomato and squash were vegetable seeds, Alaskan peas and Red Bush kidney beans were legumes, and wheat and barley were cereals. We determined whether the vegetable seeds, legumes, or cereals had the greatest rate of cellular respiration, and how their seed type affected the rate of cellular respiration. Hypothesis:

acid with promix (not moist), and then for the last lot we wrapped redbuds with moist promix. For peaches we also had a control group with just storing them in a Ziploc bag, and for the second lot we placed that seeds in moist promix in a cooler. Finally, for the third lot we soaked the seeds in water for a week and added moist promix and then placed in the cooler. As a result, to this experiment of scarification and stratification we have seen that lot 3 for Redbuds (scarification) germinated 16/40
