Tampered+Water

__The Problem: __ Which type of treated water will allow the plant to grow the best? __Procedure__: Step #1: Get four plastic containers that are the same size and fill them all equally with the same kind of soil (1 cup). Step #2: Dig a little hole in the soil about 1 cm deep or less in each container and put a plant seed in the hole of every container then refill the hole with the soil. Step #3: Then add 1/3 cup of boiled water to one of the containers. Then add 1/3 cup of tap water to one of the other containers, add 1/3 cup of micro-waved water to another container and then add 1/3 cup of cold filtered water to the last container. Repeat this step every second day.
 * __Plant Investigation__ **

__Ashish's Hypothesis:__ I think that the cold filtered water will work the best because the other waters are contaminated in some sort while is the most natural and closest to rain water.

Tegan's hypothesis : i think that the cold filtered water with let the plant grow the best because its the cleanest and healthiest water. __Materials: 4 plastic containers, 4 cups of soil, 1 cup of water, 4 plants seeds. __ __Variables:__ a. Manipulated: Water amount, Sunlight, Size of pot (or cup) b. Responding:  Which tampered water will make the plant grow the best. c. Controlled: using the same amount of soil, using the same amount space, using the same type of seed, having the same temperature Observations/Logbook: Day 1: Date: October 5, 2009 __ Today we planted our seeds. We planted 4 seeds.

__ Day 3: Date: October 8, 2009 Tegan Tegan watered her two plants for the first time which are the tap water and cold filtered. still no growth.

Day 5: Date: October 9, 2009 Ashish Today Ashish watered his two plants for the first time. Ashish watered the boiled and micro-waved ones. When he put the water in both it was a puddle of water then suddenly it all got sucked in to the soil. This is the first time Ashish watered his two plants.

Day 7: Date: October 10, 2009 Tegan today i watered the plants ( tap and cold filtered ) for the second time, still no growth has come.

Day 9: Date: October 11, 2009 Ashish The plants are 0 cm in height still. When I watered the plants today the plants were in a puddle and unlike the other day when he watered it and the same thing happened except it dried up. This time it didn’t dry up or be absorbed and still after a while there are still in a puddle hopefully by the next time I check them they will be normal and growing.

Day 11: Date: October 12, 2009 Tegan the cold filtered watered plant has grown about half a centimeter the tap has not grown at all. i watered the plants today.

Day 13: Date: October 13, 2009 Ashish I watered the plants today. His two plants (boiled and micro-waved) still haven't grown. I thinks that the plants have died but I will keep watering them until the project is over. I think they died because of the temperature in my house, I put them on the window sill and when I felt the window there was some cold air coming out. So both my plants have grown 0 centimetres.

Day 15: Date: October 14, 2009 Tegan the cold filtered water plant has grown about 1 1/2 centimeters above the soil the tap watered plant has grown about 1 centimeter above the soil. i watered the plants again today.

Day 16: Date:October 15, 2009 Ashish Watered the plants for the last time today. There is still no growth in either plants. I suspect that they have died by now because of the temperature or over watering.

Day 17: Date: October 16, 2009 Tegan the tap watered plant has grown 4 centimeters above the soil the cold filtered water plant has grown about 6 centimeters above soil. today was the last day for our project. __Trial 2:__

Day 1: Date: October 21, 2009 Ashish I watered our second set of plants for the first time, this time I got tap and boiled water. I put 2 types of soil in because other one that I filled up at school fell out (some of it) so filled our plants with some more soil but a different kind. This probably will affect the plant growth in some way.

Day 1: Date: October 21, 2009 Tegan I watered my plants again today for our second trial i have cold filtered water and microwaved none of them have grown yet so far

Day 2: Date: October 23, 2009 Ashish I watered the plants for the second time today. 0 cm of growth in both of the plants. I think that the plants haven't haven't grown yet because they haven't had time to germinate yet.

Day 2: Date: October 23, 2009 Tegan I watered my plants again today. none of my plants have grown yet still. i think they arent growing because they aren't getting enough sun light

Day 3: October 26, 2009 Ashish I watered both plants today. Still no growth in any of our plants. I think that there is no growth because maybe we haven't watered them enough or not enough sun light. Day 3: October 26, 2009 Tegan i watered my plants again today. still neither of them have grown at all. i still think this is because they aren't getting enough sun light. Day 4: November 2, 2009 Ashish I didn’t water the plants for six days because both plants were watered too much and were in puddles of water. So in result I let them soak up the water and then watered them.

Day 4: November 2, 2009 i watered my plants again today. there is still no growth come from neither of them.

Day 5: November 5, 2009 Ashish Watered both plants again today. Very disappointed in growth, no growth what so ever. I have a feel that I’m very very bad at growing plants. The reason why I think this is because I either put to much water or it’s too cold in my house or the seeds are bad or there is not enough sunlight. . Day 5: November 5, 2009 Tegan i watered the plants again today. there is still no growth come and i still think it is because they aren't getting enough sunlight or I over watered them.

Day 6: November 9, 2009 Ashish I watered the plants again today. There is still no growth. The reason why I didn’t water for 4 days is because I believe that I have been over watering the plants.

Day 6: November 9, 2009 Tegan i watered my plants again today. still none of them have grown. i still think it is because they are not getting enough light.

Day 7: November 11, 2009 Ashish Plants still have not grown. This is becoming a trend. The plants look moist but I still will water them today. They are not in puddles though so that’s ok. The colour of the soil is black and moist. The reason why I think that the plants have not grown is because not enough sunlight or putting to much water. I think that the place were I put my plants is to dark for them to grow. My house temperature is also maybe to cold for the plants.

Day 7: November 11, 2009 Tegan The plants have still not grown, im not sure why, but im pretty sure its because they are not getting enough sun light because we have been giving them enough water but they would not grow.
