The hypothesis is that increasing exposure times of microwave radiation will increase the number of radish seeds that sprout and the length of the sprouts.

You will prepare plastic germination chambers, separate radish seeds into groups, place each group in a microwave oven for different amounts of time, cover the seeds and moistened paper towel, and observe the seeds daily for sprouts.

You will need a plastic tray or plate, plastic wrap, paper towel, water, a package of radish seeds, a microwave oven, a ruler, a pencil, and graph paper.

Our experiment showed that increasing exposure times of microwave radiation did increase the number of radish seeds that sprouted and the length of the sprouts. The most dramatic increase was seen in the 120 second exposure time, with a 100% germination rate and an average sprout length of 8.5 mm.

This science project is interesting because it explores the effects of microwave radiation on seed germination, which is a phenomenon that is not often studied.

Variations to consider include testing different types of seeds, different exposure times, and different types of radiation.
