Let’s explore how seeds turn into plants! This experiment will help you understand what seeds need to grow and how we can measure their progress.
## The Science Behind Seeds
Seeds are like tiny treasure chests containing everything a plant needs to start growing. But they need the right conditions to “wake up” and begin their journey.
## What You’ll Discover
– How temperature affects germination speed
– The role of water in plant growth
– Why light is essential for healthy plants
– How soil chemistry impacts development
## Step-by-Step Instructions
### Phase 1: Preparation (Day 1)
1. **Gather your materials** – Check the materials list below
2. **Prepare containers** – Clean and organize your planting space
3. **Test soil conditions** – Use our sensor data as a guide
### Phase 2: Planting (Day 1-2)
1. **Plant the seeds** – Follow proper spacing and depth guidelines
2. **Label everything** – Keep track of different variables
3. **Initial measurements** – Record starting conditions
### Phase 3: Observation (Daily for 2 weeks)
1. **Daily check-ins** – Look for changes and growth
2. **Measure and record** – Track height, leaf count, health
3. **Photo documentation** – Create a visual growth diary
4. **Environmental monitoring** – Use our live sensor data
### Phase 4: Analysis (Week 2-3)
1. **Compare results** – What worked best?
2. **Draw conclusions** – What did the data tell us?
3. **Plan next steps** – How can we improve?
## Questions to Explore
– When do the first shoots appear?
– How does temperature affect germination speed?
– What happens if we change the amount of water or light?
– Which seeds grow fastest in our garden conditions?
