LAB
   Start seed lab - all materials on the purple lab station.  You will need to find graduated cylinders (located in the cabinet near the door to the classroom below the counter, directly to your left as you enter lab from classroom).  Beakers are on the drying racks above sinks.

Tape your baggies to the walls of the fume hood.  Make sure the light is on at all times.  I have placed an example baggy (you can open to see how I made mine).  I had to cut the paper towel so it would fit (scissors on middle lab station)

You will also have to make the miracle-gro solutions.  I believe it is 50 ml at 5%.  Depending on your Levels of Independent Variables you may choose to use different percent solutions.
Here is the calculation for determing % solution.

5%   --  (.05g/ml)(50ml) = 2.5g  --  Add 2.5g of miracle-gro to 50 ml of water.

10% example --  (.10g/ml)(50ml) = 5g of miracle-gro per 50 ml of water.

Scales are located in cabinet under middle lab station.  When you turn on the scale, there should be nothing on the scale and you should wait until it shows a 0g before starting.  Make sure to use a paper towel on the scale, and to zero the scale after placing the paper towel.

Check your seeds at the same time each day.  Some of you may check them twice a day.  Once in the morning and once after school.
