How Does Radiation Affect The Growth Of Seeds
Data Analysis
Does radiation affect the growth of seeds? If, plant seeds are exposed to microwave radiation, then the seeds will grow less than how a seed is usually grown. The independent variable was the amount of microwave radiation the seeds receive. The dependent variable was the growth of the plant seeds. Control variables were the amount of water (30 mL at a time), the amount of light (11 hours each day), and the amount of seeds. The control group was the non-microwaved seeds. The experimental group was how long to microwave the seeds. The first seed wasn’t microwaved at all, the second seed was microwaved for 15 seconds, and the third cell was microwaved for 30 seconds. To collect the data, figure out how tall the plants are, then …show more content…
The radiation affected the seeds and the inside of the seed. I think that the results I did because I understand that not only radiation can affect the growth of seeds, but can make the plant grow longer, but in a slower process. This data relates to my hypothesis because it defines how slow the seeds can grow. Radiation is very hot and the seeds need water to survive, but not dry up. Also, radiation can be dangerous depending on how the weather is like. The control variable, on the other hand, the control group also took a slower process to grow, so radiation can be dangerous, but also useful.
The results in my experiment make sense because this shows me that my hypothesis was incorrect. Cell numbers 2 and 3 grew longer than Cell #1. These cells were microwaved, but the control group was not. The tools that were used in the experiment were cucumber seeds, 3-Cell growing container, soil (Miracle Grow), plant growing light, labels, popsicle stick, thermometer, tap water, microwave, and a beaker. The cucumber seeds is probably what caused to have unexpected results because other students had different seeds. Also, the soil possibly caused the plant to get more
