    OBSERVING THE

    GERMINATION
    AND GROWTH OF
    LENTIL SEEDS
    BIOLOGY AND GEOLOGY
    1 ESO
    Teacher: Conchi Sicilia

    Name of Student:
    OBJECTIVE

    In this project we are going to observe the growth


    of a plant.
    We chose lentils due to their rapid growth and
    their simple needs for germination.
    Make your notes clear and legible.
    For each day that the project is turned in late the
    student will be penalized one point.
    On the due date you must bring your plants to
    class. If you do not, your grade will be significantly
    reduced.

    MATERIALS
    Plastic cup or transparent glass.
    Cotton.
    Two lentil seeds.
    Water.
    Ruler.
    Permanent marker.

    PROCEDURE
    Place the cotton in the cup/glass.
    Situate the seeds in the cotton so that you can see
    them through the glass or plastic.
    Moisten the cotton without allowing any standing
    water in the cup.
    Mark the cup with your name and the date.

    INFORMATION: BEFORE YOU START

    You must answer the following questions:

    What is the scientific name for lentils?

    What is its full classification?

    Give a detailed hypothesis of what is going to happen.

    Why are we planting two seeds instead of just one?

    OBSERVATIONS

    During the next 15 days you must observe your


    plants daily (label them plant 1 and plant 2) and carefully
    annotate everything that happens in the table.
    Measure the length of the stems daily, as well as
    the roots of each plant (in mm).
    It is important that the cotton is always damp and
    the plant is in a well-lit, open place.

    CONCLUSIONS

    Describe your experience with the project, the


    problems you had, what you learned…

    Was your original hypothesis correct? Why or why


    not?

    Make a graph in which you show how the stems and


    roots of your two plants grew. To do this, use a
    different color for Plant 1 and Plant 2. Mark the growth
    in millimeters on the Y axis and the days on the X axis.

    Draw conclusions based on the graphs.

    7
    Use the following picture to explain the
    germination and growth process. How is it similar to
    and different from what you saw?

    Define:
    Cotyledons:

    Epicotyl:

    Episperm/Seed Coat:
