Need help with 7th Grade Science Fair Project

[Rob Blackburn]

This is the stock one my mother and I created. Since it has been done by both of my siblings and a few cousins we all got A's. I actually won a County Science Fair in 8th grade doing this one, though I admit I was in the boonies of NC where the avg. IQ was of mental retard level. I went to state and got smoked by kids who spent year(s) doing their projects, while mine was done in two weeks.

"Effects of Enviromental Extremes on Plants".

Which sounds alot more complicated than what it is. You need 4 of the same type of cheap plants. A microwave, vinegar, ammonia, and spot light/uv light. You are supposed to be re-creating extreme enviroments on the plants, microwave is radiation, vinegar and ammonia is acid rain, uv light would be loss of ozone/extreme UV, then one control.

Just subject the plants to these enviorments and study how they die, write up a nice report, make some charts, talk about saving the earth and other hippie stuff. Get an A+.

The most expensive thing in the whole project was the stupid tri-folder display thing.
