| I think that the plant with acid on the leaves will be effected or killed faster. | |
| I
wanted to find out if plants were effected or killed faster when
acid was sprayed on their leaves or when acid was watered into the soil.
To find this out I set up 3 plants and sprayed one with lemon juice,
watered one with lemon juice and watered the last with water. I found
that acid on the leaves will effect and kill a plant faster.

1)Set up 3 plants
where they will receive about the same sun light
2) Take the jar and
fill it with 25 ounces of water
3) Add 1/4 cup of
lemon juice
4) Next take
the spray bottle and fill it with 25 ounces of water
5) Add 1/4 cup lemon
juice
6) Spray plant 1
till all the leaves are wet
7) Plant 1 should
be watered with 1/4 cup water
8) Next fill a 1/4
cup of the water with acid
9) Then pour it into
plant 2
10) Fill a 1/4 cup
with water without acid
11) Pour the water
into plant 3
12) Repeat this every

| This
is a journal of what happened everyday as I observed my plants
Day 1 - I set up my plants and watered them Day 2 - 21 - No change Day 22 - Two leaves are being eaten away at Day 23 - 39 - No change Day 40 - No change so I deciede to make the acid concentration stronger. To do this I start to water plant 2 with straight lemon juice and spray plant 1 with straight lemon juice. I also start to water the plants everyday Day 41 -42- No change Day 43 - Many leaves are dying and are being eaten away at |

| My hypothesis was right. The plant I sprayed with acid was affected faster . The plant that was watered with lemon juice was being affected some by the acid. Acid rain will affect the leaves of a plant faster than acid in the soil. | |
