This project investigates the effects of soap on plant survival as a reflection of water pollution challenges. Water pollution, caused by harmful substances like pesticides entering our water bodies, prompts us to consider our responsibility toward the environment. The hypothesis suggests that a small amount of soap will allow one plant to survive longer than those exposed to excessive soap or just water. Over six days, we will observe the growth of three different plants and assess the implications of pollution on our ecosystems.

Introduction • Water Pollution is caused dumping, and run-on's carrying pesticide running into the lake, river, or bay. • Why can’t we just keep the world clean? • Is it too much to ask to take care of our world? • If we keep trashing our world, we will cause global warning.
Hypothesis • One, if you use about a nickel size of soap, in one plant, then I think that it will stay alive the longest. • The other two plants will die first and second [the one with a lot of soap will die first, then the one with water]. • Here is my experiment during the 6 days:
Procedure • soap, water, weed, cups. • Steps- First get a nickel amount of soap, and put it in one cup with a plant, one with a lot of soap, and one with just water. • Then just watch it for 6 days
Control Steps • Get usual amount of soap, get a nickel amount of soap. • Put it in one cup with a weed. • One with water, and one with a lot of soap.
