Method

I sure hope I'm allowed to just kinda make this method up based on the other experiments I've looked at....

1. Place 9 Basil plants in direct sunlight (indoors) in a row

2. Label the first plant on the left as "M" (for microwaved), the second "B" (for boiled) and the third "U" (for unboiled). Also label the fourth and seventh plant M, the 5th and 8th plant B and 6th and 9th plant U.

3. Microwave 50mL of filtered water

4. Stove boil 50mL of filtered water

5. Allow the microwaved and boiled water to cool to room temperature

6. Measure 50mL of filtered water

7. Water the first "M" plant with the 50mL of microwaved water

8. Water the first "B" plant with the 50mL of boiled water

9. Water the first "U" plant with the 50mL of unboiled water

10. Repeat steps 3-9 for the remaining 6 plants

11. Photograph the plants

12. Record observations about all 9 plants

13. Repeat steps 3-12 once every two days for 3 weeks

14. Blog about results and write scientific report

this was the original experiment (i'm fairly sure?) that gave me the idea for this in the first place:

this basically summarizes what I want to do:
