OHMYGOD
I don't think I can bring myself to write what happened again, so instead i will copy and paste my facebook status and the feedback it received. I know it isn't that relevant, but it's so devastating and I just don't think I can write what happened any more times than I already have....
Experiment finished!
WOW guys, it's been a great 6 months of work. I can't believe it's all over, this has been by far one of the happiest times of my life, and I'd like to thank you all for your support.
LOL JK, I'm not even finished my report yet.
And I think I'm going to struggle to make 2 pages out of my discussion....and reference properly...... and get more than 60%.....
oh dear :|
DAY 10
Monday, 14/06/2010
yes, obviously I timed this badly because I have a 10 day experiment and didn't take photographs on the "even" days. But oh well, have a picture of the final day anyway

More method adjustments
i just realized I'm doing a slightly different method to the one posted. Here it the method that will be included in my scientific report:
1. Place 6 snow pea plants in direct sunlight (indoors) in a row (preferably on a window sill)
2. Label the first three plants "M" (for microwaved water) and leave the next three plants unmarked
3. Microwave 150mL of filtered water for one minute
4. Allow the microwaved water to cool to room temperature
5. Measure 150mL of filtered water
6. Water the first "M" plant with 50mL of the microwaved water
7. Water the first unmarked plant with 50mL of the standard water
8. Repeat steps 6-7 for the remaining 4 plants
9. Photograph the plants
10. Record observations about all 6 plants
11. Repeat steps 3-10 once every two days for 10 days
DAY FIVE
Wednesday, 09/06/2010
Only noticeably change is a very slight colour difference between the microwaved and non-microwaved plants. The leaves of the plants fed with microwaved water are a less healthy colour than those of the plants fed with non-microwaved water.
DAY ONE
saturday, 05/06/2010
Plants are all very similar in appearance, though the middle one labelled "M" is slightly less bushy than the others.

changes to method
ok, so now that i've actually been to the shop regarding this experiment, i realized it's rather difficult to find 9 basil plants, so instead i have 6 snow pea plants and have taken away the "boiled water" part of the experiment.
new method is as follows:
1. Place 6 snowpea plants in direct sunlight (indoors) in a row
2. Label the first three plants "M" (for microwaved water) and leave the next three plants unmarked
3. Microwave 50mL of filtered water for one minute
4. Allow the microwaved water to cool to room temperature
5. Measure 50mL of filtered water
6. Water the first "M" plant with the 50mL of microwaved water
7. Water the first unmarked plant with the 50mL of unboiled water
8. Repeat steps 3-7 for the remaining 4 plants
9. Photograph the plants
10. Record observations about all 6 plants
11. Repeat steps 3-10 once every two days for 10 days
12. Blog about results and write scientific report
Oh yeah, it's also now 10 days duration instead of 3 weeks. coincidence that the final blog/scientific report is due in less than 2 weeks?
:)
