A study of the growth of mung beans in water samples with differing pH levels to document any possible alterations in growth tied to the difference in pH
This is a thoughtful and well-documented investigation. I especially appreciate how carefully you recorded your procedures and openly discussed sources of error, this shows real scientific maturity. Your use of multiple water sources and clear visual graphs helped communicate your findings effectively. To strengthen this project further, increasing replication and adding statistical analysis would allow you to more confidently determine whether the trends you observed are significant. Overall, this is a strong and meaningful plant science project with clear real-world relevance. Keep pursuing questions like this. You are thinking like a scientist!
You strengthened your project by taking lots of measurements and quantitative data. This led to some interesting results!
