 * Germination**

Research Question: "How does xxxxxxx affect the rate of germination of yyyyy?" (D, DCP, CE)

Great for a full lab and needs very little in the way of resources. Things to remember:
 * when choosing xxxxxxx make sure you have a citation and scientific theory to base your lab upon
 * what is germination? make sure this is clear in your mind, and of course communicated in your report
 * when choosing a seed to study make sure it is suitable, carry out preliminary experiments to make sure it will germinate
 * preliminary experiments are valuable - carry out tests to make sure you will collect measurable data when you scale up your experiment
