Background of the Study

Gardening is becoming more efficient in the recent

years. A variety of gardening methods have been discovered
and are being used in the 21st century. The researchers
desire to add a new recipe to gardening, using materials
usually found at homes. The study focuses on finding the
bread that is most suitable for germinating mung beans
(vigna radiata).

The researchers will conduct experiments to find the

bread that is deemed to be most suitable for the mung bean
(vigna radiata) to germinate on. The researchers will
observe and record the progress, changes and development of
the mung bean (vigna radiata). The chosen bread will serve
as a nursery bed for the mung bean (vigna radiata).

Bread is one a common material that is abundant. The

researchers conducted the experiment to utilize the unused
potential of bread, and show that with a little creativity
an effective product can be made.
Statement of the Problem

The study was conducted to investigate the germination

of vigna radiata (mung bean) on bread in REH Montessori
College as perceived by grade 10 students during S. Y. 2018-
2019.

1. Does the amount of water affect the growth of mung

bean?
2. Does sunlight affect the growth of mung bean?
3. Does the amount of bread affect the growth of the
mung bean?
4. How does this experiment affect the bread?
5. Is there a significant difference between the time
it took for the mung bean to sprout in bread and
in soil?

Hypothesis

1. Does the amount of water affect the growth of mung

bean?
a. Operational Hypothesis
 The amount of water does affect the
growth of mung bean.
b. Null Hypothesis
 The amount of water does not affect
the growth of mung bean.
2. Does sunlight affect the growth of mung bean?
a. Operational Hypothesis
 Sunlight does affect the growth of
mung bean.
b. Null Hypothesis
 Sunlight does not affect the growth
of mung bean.
3. Does the amount of bread affect the growth of the
mung bean?
a. Operational Hypothesis
 The amount of bread does affect the
growth of the mung bean.
b. Null Hypothesis
 The amount of bread does not affect
the growth of the mung bean.
4. How does this experiment affect the bread?
a. Operational Hypothesis
 This experiment positively affects
the bread.
b. Null Hypothesis
 This experiment negatively affects
the bread.
5. Is there a significant difference between the time
it took for the mung bean to sprout in bread and
in soil?
a. Operational Hypothesis
 There is a significant difference
between the time it took for the
mung bean to sprout in bread and in
soil.
b. Null Hypothesis
 There is a significant difference
between the time it took for the
mung bean to sprout in bread and in
soil.
Significance of the Study

The result of this study might prove that it is

possible to germinate mung beans on bread. In the current
generation, the soil is intentionally or unintentionally
being abused and exhausted. The study is conducted to
alleviate the burden of the soil by providing an alternative
medium for plants to grow on, though the study only covers
mung beans (vigna radiata). Currently, there are various
ways to germinate crops, thanks to technology and science
advancements, but most of them are expensive to set up or
difficult to keep or obtain especially for common people.
This research, on the contrary, is easy and simple. The
study might help others come up with a better idea.

Scopes and Limitations

This study was conducted for the germination of vigna

radiate (mung bean) on bread in REH Montessori College as
perceived by grade 10 students during S. Y. 2018-2019. The
condition of the weather during the length of the study may
be unstable and unpredictable. The plants may be deprive of
sunlight or receive excess water due to rain. The
temperature of the area may affect the survivability of the
beans. The mung beans themselves may be infertile or
defective.
Definition of Terms

 Nursery bed is a specially prepared portion of land

put aside for raising seedlings. It acts as a
temporary home for young plants until they are
eventually planted in a permanent garden.
 Vigna Radiata, commonly called mung bean, is a plant
species in the legume family. It is used as an
ingredient in both savoury and sweet dishes.
