Transcript

I placed five different seeds on a

paper towel moist with hydrogen peroxide,

water, and bleach.

Sealed in snack bags and placed on a window

seal with natural sunlight.

Conclusion:

My hypothesis is null because test #3

with water only germinated faster

than the tests with hydrogen peroxide.

Thank You!

Hydrogen Peroxide's effect on Seed Germination

Conclusion

Seven Days Later...

Fourteen Days Later...

Variables:

Discussion:

Independent: Test #3- 5ml Water (only)

Dependent: Test #1- 2.5ml Hydrogen peroxide and 2.5ml water. Test #2- 5ml Hydrogen peroxide

Control: Test #4- 2.5ml Bleach and 2.5 ml water. Test #5- 5ml Bleach

Dave's Garnden.com: "Seed will germinate faster with 10% hydrogen peroxide, but not as fast with 3%".

I think the seeds will germinate faster with hydrogen peroxide 3% than with water alone.

My Hypothesis

Is that 2.5ml of Hydrogen Peroxide and 2.5ml of water will speed up seed germination.

Materials

Hydrogen Peroxide 3%

Water

Household Bleach

Seeds:

Cantaloupe

Spinach

Squash

Onion

Watermelon

Tomato

Which Seed germinated the Fastest?

"Hydrogen Peroxide promotes seed germination of cereal plants and ascorbic acid with acts as an antioxidant suppresses the germination ow wheat seeds..."
