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?
