Impact of Temperature Range on Pea Seed Germination

This research project explores how different temperatures (5ºC, 22ºC, 37ºC, 48ºC, and 60ºC) influence the germination of dry pea seeds by measuring carbon dioxide concentration. By utilizing a variety of tools and procedures, the study aims to analyze the effects of temperature on seed germination. Participants will conduct experiments, collect data using CO2 sensors, and share results. The ultimate goal is to understand the relationship between temperature fluctuations and seed germination efficiency.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Research Question • How does a range of temperatures, 5ºC, 22ºC, 37ºC, 48ºC, and 60ºC, affect the germination of dry pea seeds as measured by the concentration of carbon dioxide in a closed container of pea seeds and water?

  2. Materials • GLX Xplorer • CO2Gas sensor • green split peas • Tap water • 100 mL graduated cylinders • Balance • weigh boats • Flash drive • Freezer • Two Incubators • thermometers • CO2Sampling bottles • Pipette • Cellophane

  3. Procedure for EACH person: • Mass 10 g of pea seeds in weigh boat (as close as possible) & then put into a 250 mL beaker • Add 25mL of water to the beaker • Cover with cellophane & place in appropriate temperature for 10 minutes. • After 10 minutes, transfer peas and water to a GLX bottle for the GLX CO2 Gas Sensor • Collect data for 10 minutes (10 second intervals) • Clean up & let the next person know the equipment is available. • Bring your text file data to the teacher.
