How Do Atmospheric Conditions Affect Plant Life?
Topics Covered: effect of chemicals on plant growth and development Submitted by: John Pritchard, Grover Cleveland H.S., Ridgewood, NY This lab requires you to design a laboratory experiment to determine how different chemicals in the environment may affect plants. You and your partner will design a laboratory experiment based on the guidelines below to answer this question. You may test for one or two chemicals only. The chemicals include acid (vinegar), base (bleach), astringent (alcohol) and salt. You will also have regular water and distilled water available to you. If you choose two, your lab is to compare the two. If you use only one, your lab is to test for changes based on application, concentration, etc.
