Topic: “Effects of Varying Concentrations of Salt on the Germination of Rice Seeds”
Main problem: What are the effects of varying concentrations of salt on rice seed germination?
Subproblems:
  1. Which salt concentration will produce the least number of germinated rice seeds?
  2. Which salt concentration can be tolerated by rice seeds?
  3. How long will it take for rice seeds to germinate at varying salt concentrations?
  4. What are the physical characteristics of germinated rice seeds soaked in varying concentrations
