R adiation Tried
" S c ie n tific Experim ent!1"
Last month over a t the A gricul
tu re Department our Botany te a c h e r-
Mr. Morrow- had seeds exposed to
ra d ia tio n fo r c e rta in lengths of
tim e. (1 sec—2 sec—3 sec—3 sec)
The primary purpose of th is e x p eri
ment was to determine the e f f e c t of
various amounts of ra d ia tio n on
seeds. When we did th is experiment
we selected four seeds th a t had
been exposed to d iff e re n t amounts
of ra d ia tio n and planted them in
tr a y s . The ra d ia tio n speeded up
the germination and d id n 't change
the seed growth as thought.
A fter the seeds germinated we
d id n 't no tice much e ff e c t on the
seedling growth. The most im port
ant e ff e c t we did see was th a t the
ra d ia tio n speeded up the germina
tio n .
"Come to our Botany c la s s and
see th e r e s u lts ! " We guarantee you
w ill grow in knowledge!
