Bean Germination and Growth

Question

• Which bean grows faster in a wet paper towel for
  a week, a red kidney bean, or a white bean?

3
Hypothesis

• I think that the white bean will grow faster
  because the skin is really thin, so the water
  will get in faster, but with the red kidney bean,
  it has red coat to cover it.

4
Materials

• 2 kinds of beans
• A wet paper towel
• A plate

5
Procedures

• First put the paper towel on the plate.
• Next put the 2 beans on the paper towel with the
  plate.
• Finally put the plate near the window and take
  pictures everyday.

Observations

• I noticed that when the weather cold, the beans
  died
• Also if you dont water the beans ever other day,
  theyll die

Conclusion

• In all my hypothesis was right because the white
  bean did grow faster but died.
