Objectives 1. Describe the germination process of a seed.

2. Describe the shape of a germinating seed change in terms of
the growth of the radicle, plumule and the condition of the
cotyledon.

3. Differentiate epigeal germination and hypogeal germination.

Materials
Corn seed, green bean seeds, ziplock bag,
cotton wool, some water

Procedure 1. The process of germination started by putting some corn seeds

and green bean seeds in a plastic bag.
2. The changes of both seeds during the germination process in
every 2 days until the seeds grow into seedlings were observed
and recorded.
3. The germination of corn seed and green bean seed were
compared.
4. The results could be seen at the template given.

Discussion 1. What went well:

1.water enter the micropyle

2.cotyledon expands and testa bursts
3.radicle grows

2. What didn’t go well:

3. Action taken:
Conclusion 1. During germination, the _______ bursts and the radicle starts to
___________ and grow ________________ into the soil to form
root. Meanwhile, the plumule grows ___________ to form
a new shoot

2. Corn seeds
Cotyledons ___________ in the soil during germination. This
germination is known as _______________ germination.

3. Green beans seeds

Cotyledons are ___________ out of the soil during germination.This
germination is known as ________________ germination.
