What are we looking for?
Case 1 - plants are planted sprouts-up like in the space experiment
| Tip |
|---|
When making observations in the dark, use a flashlight that is covered with a green cellophane wrap. If the plant was grown in the dark, keep the observation time brief to prevent prolonged light exposure. |
- Measure the roots and stems every day with a ruler and write down your observations
- Make sketches, and take photos.
- Note when will it start sprouting after watering?
- Observe any other changes after the seeds start to sprout.
- Compare your results with the Azuki beans grown in space: observe the difference in colour, size and shape and think of different reasons for these differences.
- Compare your results with every one else's
| 2. Stem comes up next |
Case 2 - Alternative experiment
- What changes would occur if the hillum will be planted pointing downwards/horizontally?
- Observe if there are any changes in the direction of growth of the root or stem
- What would it be the difference if you planted the beans in a light or dark enviroment?
Come up with different ideas to investigate some more!

When you have finished with the Azuki bean experiment, transplant it in a planter or the ground and continue growing it. |
