my daughter is doing a seed germination experiment with rye and bean
seeds at 50000, 100000, and 150000 rads. unfortunately her cat knocked
the plates over. We have a general idea of what is supposed to happen
from research sites but wonder if anyone can confirm.

That is definitely a catastrophe!!!

You want to fake the results of your daughter's science project?

You just want it to be a secret between us in this newsgroup?

You wouldn't want the teacher to find out, would you?

Actually she told the teacher. Its an extra project and she dcided to
explain what her reasearch indicates would happen. The only research
she found has to do with the space shuttle so she was looking for
results that are more specific.

I can help confirm. Most researchers will agree that after an accident
of that nature, you throw out the results, and start your experiment
again. Since it only takes a few days for rye or bean seeds to
germinate, you are only set back a short time.
