My science fair project focuses on finding a non-toxic remedy to combat the spread of the invasive species, buffelgrass. I chose this project because I recently learned how harmful this weed is and how important it is that we discover an effective and eco-friendly herbicide. My results for this experiment found that, with only one single application, Vinegar was the most affective out of four different remedies. This project is important because it investigates planet healthy solutions for killing destructive and flammable species.
You picked an important real-life problem and tested several non-toxic solutions with a control group. Your photos and chart make it easy to see that vinegar worked best.
The photos, charts, and observations over time show that you carefully tracked how each treatment affected the plants. Your data clearly showed that vinegar was the most effective treatment.
