🌱 Part 1: Germination Knowledge

1. What is germination?

When a plant flowers

When a seed starts to grow and sprout

When a plant produces fruit

When leaves fall off a plant

2. Which conditions do tomato seeds need to germinate successfully? (Check all that apply)

Water

Warmth

Air (oxygen)

Freezing temperatures

Complete darkness

3. What is the first visible sign that a tomato seed has started to germinate?

The seed coat swells and may crack

Leaves appear immediately

Flowers develop

The seed turns brown

4. Why is water important for seed germination?

Water helps the seed _____________ and activates the _____________ inside that start the growing process.

🔬 Part 2: Experiment Setup and Observations

5. List the materials you used to set up your germination experiment:

6. Draw and label your experimental setup below. Include the container, paper towel, seeds, and any labels.

7. Record your initial observations of the tomato seeds (Day 0):

Colour: _________________________

Size (approximately): _____________ mm

Shape: __________________________

Texture: _________________________

8. What do you predict will happen to your seeds over the next 3-5 days? Explain your reasoning.

📊 Part 3: Scientific Thinking

9. Why is it important to keep all seeds in similar conditions (same temperature, same amount of water)?

10. If some seeds germinate and others don't, what might be the reasons?

11. How will you know when germination has been successful? List at least two observable signs.
