This project explores how tap, distilled, and bottled water affect the growth of bean plants by measuring their height over a nineteen day period
You did a good job using three groups (tap, bottled, distilled), keeping the amount of water and light the same, and showing your results with tables and graphs.
Congratulations for being chosen to compete in SARSEF. Good points from your experiment: the number of trials you ran, measurements and chart and controlling the variables. Do you know how the bottled water you chose to use was processed or collected?
Your research question, hypothesis, and variables were clearly defined, and you controlled important factors like the amount of water, soil, light, and container type. Running three trials and recording plant height over time shows good scientific effort and organization.
