Topic: Germination
Aim: To observe the germination process of peas over a one-week period.
Materials
Procedure
1. Place a damp paper towel or cotton inside a plastic cup.
2. Place 3-4 pea seeds between the cup and the paper towel, ensuring they are visible from
the outside.
3. Add a small amount of water to keep the paper towel moist but not soaked.
4. Place the cup in a warm location with indirect sunlight.
5. Observe and record the changes in the seeds daily for one week.
6. Draw what you see each day and measure any growth.

Discussion
1. What conditions were necessary for the peas to germinate successfully?
2. What changes did you observe in the seed coat during germination?
3. How did the root system develop compared to the shoot?
4. What role did water play in the germination process?
5. How might different environmental factors (e.g., light, temperature) affect germination?
6. What would happen if the seeds did not receive enough water?
