Description
In this hands-on lab, your class will investigate how increasing soil salinity impacts seed germination. Students will test different salt concentrations and track how many seeds sprout in each treatment. Once results are collected, they’ll create bar graphs, analyze the data, and connect their findings to real-world farming challenges in dry regions.
Perfect for APES, Environmental Science, or Earth Science.
Supplies needed: Petri dishes (or plastic bags), graduated cylinders, beakers, pea seeds, pipettes, filter paper (or paper towels), distilled water, colored pencils
Included:
- Detailed teacher instructions (2 pages)
- 5-page student packet
- Digital versions of the student packet through Google Slides™
- Key
This resource includes editable text so that you can easily customize to your own class!
