Only 6 sets of Day 1 and Day 10 pictures are presented here. The samples below were picked before the results of the experiment were known.

To see all 24 paired sets go to the detailed observations page. If you're really data hungry use the plant gallery where 24 sets of 8 pictures can be found.

Plant A is always to the left.

The class concluded that the microwaved water had no influence on the plants, because all of the plants (except the 3 that died due to lack of water over the weekend) were growing equally well. We could see no differences in health between the A and B plants.

The container containing the microwaved water was in jug A.
