TEST
EMMA:
We’ve got to choose a topic for our experiment, haven’t we, Jack? Were you thinking of
something to do with seeds?
JACK:
That’s right. I thought we could look at seed germination – how a seed begins to grow.
EMMA:
OK. Any particular reason? I know you’re hoping to work in plant science eventually …
JACK:
Yeah, but practically everything we do is going to feed into that. No,
there’s an optional
module on seed structure and function in the third year that I might do, so I thought
it might be useful for that
Q21
. If I choose that option, I don’t have to do a dissertation
module.
EMMA:
Good idea.
JACK:
Well, I thought for this experiment we could look at the relationship between seed size and
the way the seeds are planted. So, we could plant different sized seeds in different ways,
and see which grow best.
EMMA: OK.
We’d need to allow time for the seeds to come up
Q22
.
JACK:
That should be fine if we start now. A lot of the other possible experiments need quite
