Analysis:
1 Name the Variables in the experiment:

a. Manipulated Variable________________________________

b. Responding Variable_________________________________

c. Controlled Variables_____________________________________________________________

2 Create a graph of the data from your observation chart to compare the growth of the control plant to
the growth of your plant over time.
Analysis Questions:

1 What is the typical germination rate for your type of seed?

2 What percent of seeds germinated in your control? How does that compare to the percent of seeds
that germinated in your other trial?
3 Overall how do you think the manipulated variable from your experiment affects the germination
rate of a seed?
4 If you were to redo this experiment, how could you improve it? What errors would you fix, or what
might you do differently?
5 How could knowledge of how environmental factors affect seed germination rates be helpful to
you? Alberta Farmers? On a global scale?
Conclusion:
Respond to the problem from the beginning of your lab report, discuss your results, and try to pose an
answer to your original question.
