🌱 Part 1: Understanding Germination

1. What is the correct order of seed germination stages?

Root emergence → Water absorption → Shoot emergence → Enzyme activation

Water absorption → Enzyme activation → Root emergence → Shoot emergence

Enzyme activation → Water absorption → Shoot emergence → Root emergence

Shoot emergence → Root emergence → Water absorption → Enzyme activation

2. Which factors can affect seed germination? (Select all that apply)

Water availability

Temperature

Light conditions

Seed colour

Moisture level

3. The scientific term for water absorption by seeds is:

Imbibition

Photosynthesis

Respiration

Transpiration

🔬 Part 2: Experiment Design

4. Your group is testing the effect of temperature on seed germination. What conditions will you compare?

5. Write a prediction for your experiment. What do you think will happen and why?

Prediction: I think _________________________________ because _________________________________

6. List three observations you will record during your experiment:

a) _________________________________________________

b) _________________________________________________

c) _________________________________________________

📊 Part 3: Recording Results

7. Create a simple data table to record your daily observations:

8. After 3 days, explain what you observed. How did your results compare to your prediction?

9. How does successful seed germination help plants survive in their environment?
