Co-reserchers: Ms Shaista Jamil, Ms Zarnaz, Ms Momina

Research Objective:

      The primary objective of this study is to investigate the germination

       process of plants under favorable conditions, including air, water, 

       sunlight,and soil.

b.      To understand the stages of germination.

Hypothesis: 

Null Hypothesis (H0): Favorable conditions do not significantly 

impact the germination rate of plants.

Alternative Hypothesis (H1): Favorable conditions significantly 

impact the germination rate of plants.

Experimental Design:

Selection of Plant Species: Fenugreek seed was selected for

consistent results.

Experimental Groups: Divided the seeds into several groups to 

test different conditions (air, water, sunlight, soil).

Variables: 

Independent Variables: Air, water, sunlight, soil conditions.

Dependent Variable: Germination rate

(observations were recorded in observation sheets)

Experimental Procedure:

Materials required:

Fenugreek seeds

Flower pots (8)

Fertilized soil

Unfertilized soil

Plastic wrap

Labels and marker

Gardening tools (shovel, watering can, spade, gardening fork)

Procedure:

Preparation of Planting Pots:

 Eight pots were prepared with four favorable and 

four unfavorable conditions:

1. Pot with fertilized soil:

a. Planting pot was filled with fertilized soil, leaving about 

an inch from the top.

b. Water was sprayed on the soil until it was evenly 

moisturized but not waterlogged.

2. Pot with unfertilized soil:

Seeds were planted in a pot that was with unfertilized soil.

3. Pot with water:

Pot was water regularly to keep the soil moist.

4. Pot without water:

One pot was left without watering.

5. Pot with sunlight:

Placed the pot in sunlight.

6. Pot without sunlight:

One pot was placed in a dark room where there was no sunlight.

7. Pot with air:

Pot was placed in an open air.

8. Pot without air:

One pot was covered with plastic wrap to avoid the passage of air.

Planting Fenugreek Seeds:

a. fenugreek seeds were placed on the surface of the soil in each pot.

b. the seeds were gently pressed into the soil using shovel, ensuring good 

 seed-to-soil contact.

c. Lightly covered the seeds with a thin layer of soil using trowel.

Observed the pots after every two to three days.

Observations and Recordings:

      All the planted pots were observed regularly and students

      recorded the seed growth in observation sheet.

b.      Students noticed the stages of germination through magnifying glass.

c.       Students observed and recorded the time duration of germination 

       and the appearance of the seedlings.

d.      Students drew different stages of germination while observing.

      Students explained different stages of germination through 

       pictorial booklet.

f.       Students presented projects of germination and explained them.

Data Collection:

a.     Observations were recorded after two to three days for a 

      predetermined period, typically 2-4 weeks.

b.      Seed growth was recorded during germination in each condition.

c.       Observation sheet was filled by drawing different stages of seed growth.

d.      Dates and observations of seed growth were recorded in 

      observation sheet.

e.       Each stage of seed was preserved and explained in the booklet.

Conclusion:

Results were analyzed through the observation sheet, time duration

of germination, and overall growth of the fenugreek seedlings. 

Effect of air, water, sunlight, and soil on fenugreek seed were 

noticed through observation sheet. Whereas, pots without air, 

without water, without sunlight, and unfertilized soil didn’t show seed growth.

It is concluded that favorable conditions i.e air, water, sunlight, soil have a significant impact on the germination rate.

Result and Findings

Conclusion

Identification of problem

We visited a place near my house. 

This place was full of rubbish.  

It was on the road side. 

Due to which it was difficult to pass.

There was smell and a lot of flies.

Methodology

Data collection

We have learned that this problem is 

due to people living around.

They throw their litter everyday on road sides.

There is only one drum for many streets.

There was no arrangement of disposal.

Except this we used questioners in our research.

Results and Findings

Majority of solid wastes was on the road side .

We found rotten edible things.

It causes diseases, smell and pollution in environment.

Conclusions

Suggestions and solutions

Awareness campaign of proper waste disposal should be started.

•       Those people having empty plots should construct boundary walls.

•       There should be adequate dustbins in each street.

•       Say NO to plastic.

•       We should use bins in our classes.

•       Recycle waste.
