Experiment completed:
Does cooled microwaved water affect algae growth?

Cartoon algae.When my students and I completed the 13 week experiment "Does cooled microwaved water harm aquatic life?" we concluded that the only major difference between the aquarium which contained microwaved water and the aquarium which contained unboiled water was the large amount of algae growth in the tank which contained the microwaved water. This generated the question, "Does cooled microwaved water affect algae growth?" To answer this question, we decided to perform an experiment with more subjects to strengthen our experiment.
