Project Title
How does the depth of the seed planted affects the growth rate.
Introduction
Growing up, the researcher heard many complaints from her father about how the depth of
the seeds planted affects their growth. The researcher heard the same complaint from her
uncle and became curious so she then decided to ask a few farmers from her community,
most of them gave her the same answers.
The purpose of this study is for the researcher to find out how the depth of the seed planted
affects the rate of its growth. The researcher is also hoping to find out how deep a seed can be
planted so that her father, uncle, and the other farmers can stop having this problem.
Method of Data Collection
Five peas seeds will be planted in five separate cups. Each seed will be planted one
centimeter deeper than the other starting at one centimeter deep. A table will be used to
record data. Any seed that do not grow will determine that a seed cannot germinate from that
depth. The same data will be transferred to a bar graph.

GRAPH SHOWING THE GROWTH RATE OF THE SEEDS
PLANTED.
Analysis of Data
Five pea’s seeds were planted in five plastic cups labeled from A-E. Each seeds were planted
one centimeter deeper than the other starting at one centimeter deep. Each seed was watered
two time daily using tap water.
Discussion of findings
After watering and observing the peas seeds for seven days I’ve observed that each seed grew
which means that the depth of the seed planted does not affects its growth rate.
Conclusion
The depth of the seed planted doesn’t affects its growth rate.
