Days	Status of germination of green gram/moth bean/chick pea grain
	Bowl No.1	Bowl No.2	Bowl No.3
Day 1.	No change in size	No change in size	No change in size
day 2.	Size of grain is bigger	Grain breaks open	No change in size
Day 3.	Size of grain is bigger	Sprouts grow	No change in size
Day 4.	Size of grain bigger	Size of grain much bigger	No change in Size

Think and answer the following question

1. In which bowl, there is more germination? Why?

2. In which bowl the germination of grains started from day 1?

3. Why were the grains tied in a wet cloth for germination?

4. In which bowl there is no germination?

5. Why is there no germinations of the grains of the cereals, kept in our home?

Answer 1

1. In bowl no. 2, because there is balance of temperature and moisture.

2. None of the bowls.

3. The grains were tied in a wet cloth for germination because it creates the situation for germination which gives the seed the proper moisture and temperature.

4. Bowl No. 3.

5. There is no germination of grains kept in our home because they become very dry and they are not in moist condition.
