Cut piece of paper towel and insert into bag
Get 2 x 3 inch jewelry bags jewelry supply store. See product # on second Cut piece of paper towel and insert into bag Staple across the bag such that there is space for roots to grow Add 10 to 15 seeds to each bag
3
Make a 0.2-g/mL NaCl STOCK solution
- Measure 2 grams of salt on balance. Get 10ml of water in a graduated cylinder. Add 2 g of sodium chloride and add water to 10 mL to beaker… this is your stock solution. 0.2 g/mL NaCl Stock Solution
4
Decide how many different concentrations you want to do.
Don’t forget a control. You will need one seed bag for each concentration. You will need one test tube for each concentration. Get the materials you need.
5
Add 5 mL of tap water to each of you test tubes
6
Add 5 mL of Stock Solution to first test tube using graduated cylinder.
7
Mix the first Tube
