Can You Jump Start Mother Natu

5 beans seeds

Lemon Juice

Sugar

Saliva

Clorox

Water

Sunlight

Paper towels

Cookie Sheet

Procedures:

First, my Mom bought the bean seeds. I put the cookie sheet in front of the window. She helped me do the graph and the typing for my report.

Resources/Credits:

Granados, Lynn – My mom helped me with my project. I watered the seeds every morning before I went to school. I than placed them on a cookie sheet lined with a wet paper towel and put another wet paper towel on top of them. The bean soaked in the lemon juice did not sprout in the 10 days but I think it will sprout. Next, I soaked five seeds in different solutions: lemon juice, clorox--diluted 4 water to 1 clorox, saliva, water, and sugar water.

Results:

The bean soaked in the saliva sprouted in 6 days, the bean soaked in the water sprouted in 7 days and the bean soaked in the sugar water sprouted in 8 days.

Conclusion:

My hypothesis failed, but you can jump start mother nature. The clorox bean died, it turned white and started to fall apart. My conclusion is that the saliva broke down the outer shell of the bean so it sprouted faster.
