Procedure
Our group, David, Tomas, Alisha, Weronika, picked the following seeds: sunflower, basil, lima bean,
and corn. We will fill of a pot of dirt. The dirt was had little twigs and some other helpful things in
there. Then we are going to put our seeds 1 inches below the dirt. David is going to put 4 lima bean
seeds in his pot. Tomas is going to put 7 corn seeds in his pot. Alisha is going to put 1 teaspoon of
basil seeds into her pot (on the weekends we will not water the plants). Weronika will put 8 sunflower
seeds in her pot. After that each of us will pour 50 ml of water each day. We are going to use mineral
water, in light area (behind our couch), and we are going to use normal soil. Everybody will water
there own plants.

Weronika- 50ml of water per

day (every morning);
sunflower plant; no watering
on Sunday and Saturday;
water no salt (just normal
H2O)
Nov. 17th - The soil is damp;
my seed is starting to
germinate; tiny root-like
things are everywhere; white
balls everywhere!!!
Nov. 18th - the soil is very wet;
one of my seeds is turning
brown, little bit of
germination from only one
seed; it is 3:56 and there is
something white in the soil
that I didnt see when I
watered it at 8:57; I wonder if
it will grow tall and if any of
the plants will grow, because
it is taking for ever; the soil
looks like a wet and a mushed
up oreo and it is very cold; the
soil feels like poop; there are
some twigs in the soil as I
squeeze the pot in which my
sunflower-to-be is, then it
gives a weird sound, a type of
a squeak; if you look on the
side then you would see some
water and air bubbles; the
poop-like soil is watery, I
hope that more will grow over
the next couple of days :)!!!

Nov.20th
The white thing is still
there. Still no roots, no
germination. I can hear
the sound SQUEAK,
and the soil is so wet.

David- 50ml of water every

day for my lima bean seed
except Sunday and Saturday.
Mineral water. We water it
every morning around at 8:30

Nov.17- I think the seed is not

germinated yet still hard and
same as the beginning. still in
the same place when put is. No
roots, soil is still damp.

Nov.18- I think the seed is still

hard and now it is 3:56 and the
soil is still wet and there was
something white which is
squashy and put water comes
out. Still no germination. Sam
size as the beginning still whit
the colour of the seeed didnt
change yet. Soil is cold and if
you squeeze hard there will be
a little water coming out. More
soil is in bricks especially on
top little air in the pot not sure
if it helps twigs and other
things in there.Just for
information I water it at the
morning around at 8:40 if it
causes any effect. Will it grow
any taller? No more
information for today.

observations are at 2p.m. Nov.

20- My seed is less than a
centimeter under the soil on
top I dug the dirt and I think it
still didnt germinate yet . The
other seeds arent visible for
me. Water was under the pot
very little but still there was
water. Even more soil bricks
are coming up and the soil is

Nov. 20th- The soil is very wet,

damp, and cold; when I
watered it this plant in the
morning, there was a pool of
water under my pot!!! I found
a lot of tiny things that are
very white, I wonder what
they are and what affect they
have on my plant
Nov. 25th - Finally seeable
germination. big healthy
roots and
soil is very cold a little damp
too; the white thing turned
into yellow and orange.
Dec 2 - My plant is really tall
every single one of my seeds
germinated my tallest plant
is 120mm tall. The white
thing is still there and slowly
is turning yellow.
Dec 4 - today my soil is not
wet although I watered it
today. It is 165 mm tall and
the seeds have fallen off. My
new plant just started
growing so Im very excited
about it all seeds have visible
germination so far but I need
a straw to hold up my tallest
plant.

Back

some of them look like they

stopped growing
dec.9
I can see my plant
growing a little it is dry
but wet. I think that next
to it there is mushrooms
and they are growing
more. I got at least 7
basil plants growing. You
can see the roots inside
the soil.
