Procedure for Science Fair: Germinating Radiated Seeds

1. Retrieve a sheet of paper on which you can create a data table, and do so, making it appear similar to the one attached to the lab report.
2. Place the large magnet in the bottom of one of the planting containers.
3. Cover the magnet with soil, and plant 3 radish seeds approximately ½” deep in the soil.
4. Place the small magnet in the bottom of another planting basin, and repeat step 3.
5. Place the medium sized magnet in the bottom of a basin, and again follow the instructions as listed in step 3.
6. Continue this process until all magnets of different sizes have been buried under soil, and seeds planted in the soil above them.
7. Fill another pot with soil, and plant 3 radish seeds in it, again ½” deep in the soil (this is the control).
8. Water each pot with the same amount of (distilled) water every day, and be sure that each pot receives equal amounts of sunlight.
9. Record the height of the tallest plant in each pot (metric), every day following the planting, making note of which pot’s seeds germinate first.
10. After 10 days of recording the heights of the tallest plant in each planting basin, clean out each of the pots, keeping the magnets, and repeat steps 1-9 again.
11. Continue this process until 3 trials, at minimum, have been completed, but continue testing if time and resources allow.
