Summary Introduction

To design: A controlled experiment to test the hypothesis that acidification of water caused by acid rain would inhibit the growth of Elodea, a freshwater plant.

Introduction:

Acid rain includes the emissions when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide react with water to form acids in the atmosphere. They form a layer on the leaf tissues of the plants. This inhibits metabolic processes including photosynthesis thus retarding their growth. Elodea is a freshwater plant that produces sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis.
