During our Environment Unit we tested the water tolerance of 4 different types of plant seeds - barley, radish, corn and pea.
We planted 3 seeds of each plant into 4 containers. Everything was kept the same except we add different amounts of water to each container. One container had no water, and contained dry soil, one container we added moist soil but no water. We added 40mls of water to one container and 80mls of water to the last container. We also had one class container labeled swamp - it had 120ml of water added to it. All containers were sealed in zip-lock bags.
