Hi Aldan,

I think you are doing this excellent project:

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p046.shtml

In the materials section, it suggests using peas or beans, but any type of seed, such as grass or flower seeds would work. If you have to buy seeds, get something that germinates quickly and doesn't require special conditions for germination.

If it is warm when you start your project, the beans or peas would work well. If the weather is getting cool, perhaps radish seeds would be a good choice.

Please let us know if you need any additional information. Good luck!
