Experimental explanation:
For this experiment you are trying to see if the plastic wrap is affective. You know if
plastic wrap is affective because it will keep air away from the food. You can use bean
sprouts to test this because been seeds will not sprout unless they are exposed to air.
Experimental design:
To test the plastic wrap, place several (10) bean seeds in the plastic wrap. Place these on
a window sill. Then take another 10 bean seeds not wrapped in plastic wrap and place
them on the window sill. Observe to see how many seeds germinate.
Sample size:
you need to test more than 1 bean for each group. This is because sometimes seeds are
bad and will not grow because something is wrong with the seed. This is why a large
sample size is important. Large sample sizes can prevent bad data or experimental error
form having a large impact on your results.
