(Mr.) Bean Sprout

By

Premus

Big beans didn't grow

Sprouts of the smallest beans grew the tallest Equal amount of water Equal amount of space Equal number of beans Same temperature Same humidity Same time frame

Data

The big beans would have grown if they had been soaked in water

The bigger the bean the longer the soaking

Soaking increases the water content in the beans and

brings them out of quiescence (sleep)

Claim, warrant and backing

Most people soak bigger beans before germination (sprouting)

The beans might have been too old to germinate
