ACADEMY
SEED GERMINATION AND
VARIABLES OF EXPERIMENT

1. Chung and Ho investigate evaporation.


At the start, beaker A has a depth of 16mm of water in it. Beaker B has a depth of
26mm of water in it.

B
A

They put the beakers next to each other in a warm room. Every day for two
weeks they measure the depth of the water.
Here are their results.

day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

depth of water
16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0
in A in mm

depth of water
26 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0
in B in mm

(a) Draw a line graph for the results of beaker A.


Draw a line graph for the results of beaker B on the same graph. Some of the
points have been drawn for you.

(b) What factor varies during their experiment? Underline one answer.

size of beakers
position of beakers in room
depth of water in the beakers
total number of days of the investigation
(c) Complete Chung and Ho’s conclusion.
The ________________________ the depth of water there is in the beaker,
the _______________________ it will take for it all to evaporate.

2. Class 5B discuss seed dispersal.


They decide to investigate the length of the wings of a spinner.
The spinner represents a seed which spins when it falls from a tree. The wind
then carries it away from the tree.
They drop each spinner from a height of 2 m.

(a) Write one factor they change in their investigation.


_____________________________________________________________
(b) Write one factor they keep the same in their investigation.
_____________________________________________________________
(c) Here are Class 5B’s results.

length of wing time taken to fall 2m in


in cm seconds
3 1.5

5 2.3
8 3.0

10 4.6

12 5.9

16 7.8
What conclusion can you make from these results?

_________________________________________________________
_
(d) One group dropped each spinner three times from 2 m.
Why did they do this?
______________________________________________________________

3. Here is a seed germinating.

(a) What is the meaning of the word germination?


________________________________________________________
(b) These three statements are about germination.
They are not in the correct order.
Write the numbers 1, 2 and 3 in the boxes to show the correct order.

A shoot grows up towards the light.

A tiny root grows downwards into the soil.

Leaves grow.
(c) Write two things that seeds need to germinate.
________________________________________________________
4. Blessy and Oliver investigate light.

They investigate how well light passes through different materials.


Oliver uses a flashlight to shine light onto the different materials.

(a) Write down one way they make this investigation a fair test.
_____________________________________________________________
(b) Oliver say,
“If all the light passes through the material give it 10 marks. If no light
passes through the material give it 0 marks”

Blessy say
“We need to make predictions or hypothesis”

Blessy predict a mark for black card, blue cloth, and clear glass. Draw a line
from each material to the mark she predicts.
(c) Blessy makes two more predictions.
White card = 1
Green plastic = 8
Blessy’s prediction are corret.
Explain why these materials have different marks.
______________________________________________________________

5. The picture shows a seed.

(a) Describe how seeds are formed.


______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________

(b) Seeds need water to germinate.


Write down one other factor seeds need to germinate.
