Question 1.

Design an experiment to check if temperature has an effect on seed germination. Class 6

Answer:

Aim: To check the effect of temperature on seed germination.

Materials required : Identical pots, soil, seeds, thermometers and different temperature — controlled environments (e.g., room heater, refrigerator etc.)

Procedure:

1. Fill each pot with same type of soil.
2. Plant seeds in each pot.
3. Place each pot in a different environment with controlled temperature.
4. Water each pot equally.
5. Record the number of seeds germinated in each environment daily for two weeks.

Observation: Measure and compare the rate of germination and growth in different temperatures.

Conclusion: Determine the optimal temperature for seed germination based on observation.
