1. Germination
Germination
Aim- To see what effect does different
fluids do on growing beans or plants and
how it changes its growth.

2. Hypothesis-
I think that the detergent bean will do nothing since I think it
might not dissolve into the bean and I also think that the milk
and coke bean will survive because beans drink water like we
can so maybe they can also drink other things like we can

3. Equipment needed is-
Coke
Vinegar
Rain-water
Washing powder
Detergent
Oil
Beans- Imperial Green
Paper collar
Jar
The Test-
We split the ingredients so each of us got two beans each on
the experiment. Most of ours has stay the same since our
first meeting apart from the tap water. We took pictures of
our bean everyday at 4.00 o'clock and we had to damp the
paper collar every day and that's all we had to do

4. Fair testing-
We made it a fair test by starting at the
same time and also ended at the same
time. We also made it a fair test by using
the same type of bean and by using the
paper collar.
Results-
The coke bean got all brown and it dissolved.
The detergent bean was turning brown and it
smelt nice
The tap water bean got a sprout and so did the
rainwater bean
The sea water bean got big and fat
Oil(Braxton) bean got really brown and icky
Oil(Kudzai) bean died but it tried so hard to
survive
The vinegar bean died and it smelt nasty.

5. Conclusion-
My hypothesis was partially right. I was right about the detergent
bean doing nothing but the Coke bean didn’t survive and I think
the caffeine in the Coke and possibly some other chemicals were
too strong for the bean to survive and breathe and so it died 
Application-
This experiment can help people in the community if
they don’t have tap-water because their water pipes
are broken so they might as well use rain-water. Also
this might help farmers about what not to water their
beans with which include Coke, Vinegar, Detergent and
Oil. I think it might also relate to other plants as well
and it might have the same results with fully grown
plants too.

9. Bean fun facts-
•Broad beans in the wild are about the size of a small fingernail
•Red or Kidney bean contain harmful toxins when eaten raw
•The top ten dry bean producers are Brazil, India, China, Burma,
Mexico, America, Kenya, Uganda, Argentina and Indonesia
•Most baked beans are made of Haricot beans
