  2. I want to know whether or not the different properties in water will effect the growth rate and fruit production of plants?

  3. What are the different properties I will test for and how will I obtain the information? • Using a YSI (Yellow Springs Instruments) I will measure: salinity, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature of the different water samples.

  4. Where will the four water samples come from?

  5. Tap Water

  6. Distilled Water

  12. What procedures am I going to use? • First I will plant tomato seeds using the same type of soil and pot. • I will place the pots together in a location in my back yard. • I will collect water from the four sources and take the measurements previously mentioned recording them in a logbook. • I will then water all four pots with the same amount of water within the same time frame.

  13. During the research period I will take digital pictures to record the growth and to use as a comparison for all four plants. • When fruit is produced, if at all, I will record how much by counting each piece. • If there is a size difference in the fruits I will notate that also.

  14. The goal of my research is to prove that water from natural sources such as a river or creek will produce a higher quality plant which produces a higher yield of fruits or vegetables.

  15. What I actually did Saturday June 21, 2008 Planted tomatoes using • 40 lbs Hyponex potting soil • 4 Tbs Agrosoke® water crystals • 1 Tbs Osmocote® fertilizer • Approx 4 gallons of water from each source
