Thank you Bryson from sec. 301. So we know that copper is a heavy metal, it typically gets into bodies of water through agriculture, manufacturing and industrial waste. When I first started this project I went to 6 lakes and rivers around Volusia county to test the water for copper. We did not fine any. That is not to say that there isn't any copper but in places like the St. Johns river there was zero as far as my test was concerned. I imagine that copper would be found near any farms or industrial facilities. If you would like to see exactly where I went to get my samples take a look at Maps a Girls best Friend. This week has been a bit slow but for
my project very important. I have been observing my Water Hyacinths in their tanks for the last week. I have noticed that all 6 tanks lose about the same amount of water. Weird. One of the plants was looking a little yellow, so the only thing that was added this week was more plant food and additional water. I should have my results of the test for you next Friday!
Michelle, Section 201: Will you be measuring the plant growth to determine if copper has any effect on their growth rates? Do you hypothesize that it will help or hinder them?
