i'm doing a science project on plants.how does tap water,microwave,and filtered water affect the way plant grw

Question

i planted the 1st set as microwave,and tap water,but i waited 5 days later to plant the 2nd set ,but added filtered water, microwave,and filtered water to each pot. i realized i need a control group to see what will happen if i add filtered water to a plant. should i leave the project as it is dispite i started the other group late? what should be a good title?

Answer 1

Do you mean you have a set of pots each being watered with one of the following: tap water, microwaved (tap) water, and filtered water?

If so, the tap will be your control. Tap is microwaved, resulting in one of your other variables; tap is filtered resulting in your other other variable.

In any case, depending on the potting media you used, whether or not you started the plants from seed, and the size of pores in your filter... you may not get any perceivable results. But that's what experimentation is about- you don't need groundbreaking results.

Titles are best simple statements. Write one sentence describing the gist of your experiment. Then remove all unnecessary articles and any other words, so you wind up with a non-sentence that still makes sense.
Something like ..."An Analysis of Microwaved and Filtered Tap Water on Plant Growth" --This may be a bit too oddly worded for whatever grade you are in at the moment, so come up with your own title, or your teachers will become suspicious.

hmm I have a dog and I have like 4 filters for my water since I have a water well. 1 sand filter 2resin filter 3carbon filter 4ceramic filter somehow my dog seems to prefer the water which only passed the 1th filter I don't know why..the 2th and 3th might give a certain flavor to it... or it's just the fact that he can drink it right out the tap or waterhose outside.. and sometimes if I don't watch him he will drink waste water as well.. so I'm not sure if dogs like a certain water cuz the waste water passed 3 filters. Hope this helped

A good title would be "An Exercise In Futility", because that is what your project is. I'm afraid that you will get no differences at all. I'm not really trying to make fun of your experiment but you are going to be disappointed. Sorry.
