| How
does Acid Rain affect Plants? I believe that the acid will cause
the soil in the plant to dry out
|
|
| The
main thing I am trying to find out is, how does acid rain damage
plant life. What things does it do to the plants daily life.

What I plan to do
to succeed in this project is: Plant three Spider plants .
Mark each one of them A, B, andC. Then in the plant marked letter
A, I would pour in a fourth of a cup of Sulfuric Acid (PH1).
For plant B, I would pour in a fourth of a cup of Vinager (PH3) into the
soil. For the last plant, I shall pour a fourth of a cup of Tap Water(PH6)
into the soil. Be sure to water each plant for three days straight,
and observe for one week.

| My
hypothesis was incorrect. I guessed that something would happen to
the plant with the acid in it. But it was not the correct guess for
this particular project. I believe I got my results, because the
liquids were all different. They all had different effects on the
same plant. The main reason I choose this project, was to find out
what damage this rain had on plants. I found out that it killed the
plants within 3 days. It had the most effect compared to the Vinegar
and Tap water. I was accurate through the whole process. I
recorded everything and wrote down my observation. Also, I was consistent
when I watered my plants. One way I could improve my project is by,
keeping the room temperature the same throughout the whole project.
One thing I could do differently to this project is, put each plant in
different room temperatures, or purchase different plants and see what
effects each liquid had on the plants.
