Tap Water Experiment

Carbon is the fundamental building block of life and an important component of many chemical processes and it can be found in every form of life. We wanted to find out how carbon affects the growth of a plant and if a plant grown from carbonated water could grow more grass than flavored water and tap water. We hypothesised that if we put carbonated water against tap and flavored water than tap water would grow the most because it is just pure water and nothing will harm the plants or interfere with the growing process. The materials that we used to conduct this experiment include three plastic cups, grass seed, tap water, carbonated water and cool blue Gatorade, as well a ruler and scale to perform the measurements. The procedure for this experiment goes as follows- First …show more content…
Put cup under light when left alone. To make sure no one got hurt or sick during this experiment make sure no one drinks the water. After performing this experiment we discovered that tap water and carbonated water grows more grass than flavored water. During the experiment we used a ruler to measure the grass inside the cup and record the data in a notebook. On the first day of observations each cup grew grass but the flavored water one. On the second day each cup grew even more grass while the cup with the flavored water grew a small patch of grass. On the final day of observations Each cup grew even more grass than we expected and the soil quality was actually looking better than we thought. In our experiment our hypothesis was correct because we said that the flavored water wouldn’t grow as much as the other cups of different types of water. At the end of the experiment each cup had good soil quality and had a decent amount of grass grew in it. Each day the grass would grow a bit taller. Our only inacuracy was that we did not water the plants for a good week due to the break as well as using different types of
