 The question of our experiment was, “Does whatever we cover our seed with (Rag, Newspaper, Paper towel), affect root length? The results were that the rag had the most root length and the most seeds germinated. The hypothesis we created wasn’t supported because we believed that the paper towel will have the most root length. Our independent variable in this experiment was the cover treatments. Our dependent variable was root length.

 Green bean seeds originated in Central America. Central America has a tropical humid climate. It has no real winter. Even the coldest month averages above 18 degree Celsius, with summers of 27 to 28 degrees Celsius.

 Many other species eat green beans, such as cows, rabbits, squirrels and of course, humans.

 Seed germination varies with temperature, soil, and moisture content. If kept moist, the plant will be visible in one to two weeks.

 When green beans are planted with other plants, such as beets, carrots, cucumber, etc, it helps insects keep away. It helps the insects or animals keep away because when various plants are planted together, it makes a certain unattractive smell which keeps them away.

 If the beans are canned or cooked, no. But if you use garden grown beans yes.
