Moninder wants to find out the best temperature for mustard seeds to germinate. He uses three Petri dishes. Each dish has a layer of moist tissue paper covered with 30 mustard seeds. Moninder puts one dish in a warm cupboard, one in a cool cupboard and one in a refrigerator. He waters all of the seeds regularly for 21 days.
