GERMINATE SEEDS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS We're going to see if seeds can tell if they are upside down or sideways. I've soaked some bean seeds overnight, and you are going to put them onto needles so that the seeds will each be in a different position. The needles don't seem to hurt the seeds, so we won't have to worry about that. After you've put your seeds onto the needles, stick each needle into a cork, and put it into a shallow dish of water, like a saucer. Put a small drinking glass over it. [We can also do this in a soilless garden, just by putting the seeds into different positions on top of a layer of gravel in the bottom of a jar with a wet, crumpled paper towel on top of the seed.] Will the seeds germinate if they are not pointed in the correct direction? Look carefully when they start to germinate. Will the roots grow toward the cork even if the seed is on the needle sideways?  Any problems with this page? Send URL to
