Does Mass Affect Soybean Emergence?

Hard
Does Mass Affect Soybean Emergence? | Science Fair Projects | STEM Projects
In this experiment, we'll be testing to see if the mass of a soybean seed affects its emergence. We'll be using five different masses of soybean seeds to see which one grows the best.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that the mass of a soybean seed affects its emergence.

Method & Materials

You will select soybean seeds of five different masses, conduct a standard germination test, and perform a hypocotyl elongation test.
You will need soybean seeds of five different masses, a standard germination test, and a hypocotyl elongation test.

Results

The results showed that the control grew the best in the standard germination and the hypocotyl elongation. Sample 2 and sample 3 were the best germinating seed sizes for both of the tests, but only by a small margin.

Why do this project?

This science project is interesting because it tests the effect of mass on the emergence of a soybean seed, which is something that has not been studied before.

Also Consider

Variations to consider include testing different depths of planting, different types of soil, and different temperatures.
