PS 205Q The Alexander Graham Bell School

#1: Your first & last name and your class must be on every page.

#2: The Title of the Lab Report “Tomatosphere 2011”

#3: Problem: The question you are trying to solve-you copied it:

Problem: Will the seeds kept at -90^oC (-130⁰F) and without air still grow?

#4: Skip a line & do your Hypothesis.  Remember it does not matter if you guessed right or wrong, only if you explain your idea.  Please do NOT change your original Prediction.  A good Hypothesis says yes or no & restates the problem.  It must tell why you think it will happen.  The clearer your explanation the higher that grade.

Hypothesis: Yes (No), I think that the seeds kept at -90^oC (-130⁰F) and without air will (not) still grow.  I think this will happen because…

#5: The Materials must be written down.  Please write it the way I taught you.

Materials: Jiffy 7 peat pots, D seeds, M seeds, water, tray, plastic cover, labeling sticks,

#6: Procedure 1 & 2.  You copied it from the board.  I hope you copied it correctly.

Procedure 1: D Seeds

Step 1: Soak the Jiffy 7 peat pellets in water for 20 minutes.

Step 2:

#7: Observations: Should include your descriptions of the plants.  It should have your table’s plants information, the class totals, and the labeled pictures of D & M plants.

Observations: December

#8: The Conclusion: This tells if your Hypothesis was right or wrong.  Tells what actually did happen in the first paragraph.   A very good Conclusion has a second paragraph telling what you learned and if this gives you ideas for other experiments and or if this information can be used by you or your family in any way.

Conclusion:

My Hypothesis was wrong (right). The seeds kept at -90^oC (-130⁰F) and without air did still grow.  I think this happened because….

This is your first Lab Report.  Please write in your neatest print.  It must be done on loose leaf-not in your notebook.  It needs to be neat-no rips or tears.  You should be able to find all the parts in your notebook.  Please let me know if you are missing something because you were absent.
