Salt Water Affects the Growth of the Lima Bean
Jack, Maxine, and Natasha
Materials List
1. Nine 240 ml stirafoam cups
2. 36 Goya baby lima beans
3. 2160 ml of soil
4. 3 metric rulars
5. 1. 9000 ml of tap water
6. 6 dark blue markers
7. 3 tweezers
8. 3 hammer
9. 5 ml of sea salt
10. Nine 1000 ml containers
11. 3 pens
12. Nine peices of paper
13. 3 sheets of newpaper
14. Three roles of tape
Procedure
1. Gather Materials
2. Take 1 1000 ml container and fill it with 1000 ml of tap water.
3. Take the second 1000 ml container anf fill it with 1000 of tap water and add 5 ml of salt
4. Take both dark blue marker and tap them to the piece of newspaper, then tape the newpaper to the table
5. crack both markers with a hammer until the bottoms shoot off.
6. carefully remove both the ink strips and set them aside. 7. Take another 1000 ml container and fill it with 1000 ml of tap water.
8. place both ink strips into the container and let them sit for 1 hour
9. After the hour is up, ccut both ink strips in half and while in the water and remove the cloth from inside.
10. squeeze the water and the ink out of the cloth until it is pure white, and set it aside.
Results:
Lessons Learned
. You can't use salt water to water bean plants because the plant will die
. You can use dye to water bean plants
. Lima beans don't work well as an experiment if you are trying to get the experiment done quickly

No. Please do more. Maybe just the procedure . I've done most of the work for the last two experiments. Your turn.

Mr.Willson. Can you change the title to The two solutions affect the growth of the lima bean. Not the one I just asked for.

Warm: Good detali in materials list and procedure
Cool: NO ABSTRACT(INTRO)

Warm: Nice materials list!
Cool: Your graph is confusing, and like what Kyra wrote there isn't any abstract, that could be a problem.
-Ava K. (using Kyra's acount, beuase mine is being mean)
btw: might wanna sapz it up a little ( add more colors, a= maybe a picture or 2 u know the basics)

It is clear from the report that a lot of thought went into designing the experiment. You have done a good job of organizing and presenting the data. Great work!

Salt is essential for some things, but obviously it's not good for growing plants. Your experiment made me realize how important protecting our fresh water supply truly is. Well done! Thank you for reminding me how important fresh water is with your experiment. Great job, Natasha, Maxine & Jack!

I really liked your layout and explanation of the details of your experiment. It would be interesting to know if plants would grow in saltwater solutions if you lessened the amount of salt you dissolve in the water. I was happy to hear that non-toxic ink did not effect the plant growth. Guess that means it really is non-toxic.
