Fill each plastic cup with potting soil up to 2/3 full.
Plant 3-4 bean seeds in each cup about 1 inch deep.
Water the seeds gently until the soil is moist but not soggy.
Label each cup with the date and your name.
Place the cups in a warm area with access to light.
Observe and record any changes in the seeds daily.
Water the seeds as necessary to keep the soil moist.
After 3-5 days, observe the germination progress and measure the seedlings.
You should see the seeds sprout within a few days. The seedlings will grow taller and develop leaves, demonstrating the germination process and plant growth.

Use clear photos to show the growth stages.
Create a chart to display germination rates.
Include a video of the plant growing over days.
Explain the importance of water and sunlight.
Prepare to answer questions about plant biology.
Bean seeds typically sprout within 3-5 days under optimal conditions.
Yes, you can use other seeds, but they may have different germination times.
Check if the soil is too dry or too wet, and ensure the seeds are getting enough warmth and light.
