Green Pea Lab
Effect of pH on Green Pea Germination
Objective:
To determine how pH affects the germination of green peas and to examine the degree of germination within each pH level. We will do this by using various buffer solutions (along with distilled water) to grow green peas.
Hypothesis:
We expected that the group of peas that encountered a pH of 7 to have the most and highest degree of germination.
Materials:
tap water
buffer solutions pH 3,5, 7, 9,11
distilled water
50 greens peas
trays
paper towels
beakers
Procedure:
1. Wrap 25 peas (25 peas = 1 group) in paper towels. Place each group in trays, making sure that the groups have room to grow independently of each
