Acid Rain and Aquatic Plants

CSEF · 2017 Plant Biology

Nicholas A. Toscano · St. Didacus Parochial School, San Diego, San Diego County

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective of the experiment was to determine the affects of acid rain, vinegar, on aquatic plants. Methods/Materials 20 Bamboo plants 5 Identical 2 quart containers Ruler 10 quarts of distilled water 250 Milliliters of vinegar Small Rocks Place 4 bamboo plants in 5 groups in the 2 quart containers that are filled with water and small rocks. Measure each plants, with the designated amount of vinegar, every day for 20 days with a ruler. Results Several plants, which were put in groups of 4 and had a designated amount of vinegar, were measured for 20 days. Results determined that any group of bamboo plants that were exposed to vinegar had a drastic decrease in growth than the plants that were not exposed to vinegar. Conclusions/Discussion Results determined that acid rain, vinegar, made the plants grow less than they should. This means acid rain does affect the growth of aquatic plants.

Summary statement

I proved that acid rain, vinegar, affects aquatic plants in a negative way.

Help received

The experiment was conducted on my own, but I was helped with the writing by my homeroom teacher.
