What is germination? Germination is when a seed grows and sprouts after a long time of dormancy. This experiment tests how water and environment can affect the germination process of fava beans. In this experiment we will use seltzer, tap and bottled water to test the theory and place some in a dark area and some in a sunny area. My hypothesis supported that the fava beans soaked in tap water placed in a dark environment germinated the quickest over the time span of 5. In conclusion, the quickest way to germinate fava beans is to put them in a paper towel soaked in tap water in a sealed plastic bag and placed in a dark area.
