Calculating Germination Rate
STUDENT RESOURCE 1.6
ACTIVITY SHEET
Calculate the germination rate for each kind of seed your group
planted in the terrarium.
For each kind of seed:
1
Record the number of seeds you planted.
2
Record the number of seeds that germinated.
3
Write a fraction that compares the number of seeds that
germinated to the number of seeds that were planted.
4
Change each fraction to a fraction that has a denominator
of 100.
5
Show each fraction as a percentage.
For example, if you planted 50 radish seeds and 35 seeds germi-
nated, you would write 35/50 = 70/100 = 70%. The germination
rate is 70%.
