Seed Experiment Update

Our seeds have sprouted! We're already beginning to see some big differences between the different cups. As one student said, "The salt water must be killing the plants!" Every group has had Plant A--the seed watered with tap water--sprout and grow. But the seeds watered with slightly salty and very salty water are not growing.

Another student brought up a good point: What about other kinds of seeds? This is a great question to investigate! Radish seeds seem to have a problem with saltwater. But are there seeds that can grow in saltwater? How could you find out?
