The student conducted an experiment to see how acid rain affects plant life. They made acid rain by mixing vinegar and baking soda, then tested its pH. They sprayed the acid rain on two plants and regular water on a third plant, observing the plants' condition over 10 days. The plants sprayed with acid rain died by day 8, while the plant with regular water remained healthy, supporting the student's hypothesis.

1. My Question:How does acid rain affect plant life?

2. pH of Regular Water

3. Day 1:I started to make acid rain with vinegar and baking soda.

4. Day 2:I finished up making the acid rain and tested the pH of the acid rain I had made.

5. Day 3: I sprayed the acid rain on two out of the three plants I had and then I sprayed regular water on the third plant.

6. Day 4:I watched the plants and how each of them changed.

7. Day 5:I then studied each of the plants and how they varied.

8. Day 6:I watered the two plants with acid rain and one with tap water.

9. Day 7:The acid rain plants started to die.

10. Day 8:The regular water stayed the same while the acid rain began to die.

11. Day 9:I watered all the plants with the right liquid again.

12. Day 10:In the end, the acid rain plants died and the regular water plant lived.

13. ConclusionYes, my project did turn out as I expected. My hypothesis was that the two plants that I sprayed acid rain on would die and that the plant that I sprayed regular water would live. I could control all the variables and I took them into consideration. If I could do my project again, I would make a poster board with my data on it so I could keep track of what was happening to the plants. The two concepts I learned from my project were how to test the pH of something and how to record data.
