This experiment was conducted to demonstrate how the amount of salt dissolved into water used to water a Brassica rapa plant would affect the growth of the plant. The real biological question dealt with ere is how the plant's cells can deal with a water and salt solution at different proportions. In this case, a distilled water solution, a .5% salt solution, and a 1% salt solution were used.

I hypothesize that the higher the concentration of salt, the slower the plants will grow. This is an important idea to ke

Therefore, it seems evident that if a farmer's water supply were intoxicated with .5% salt, the whole crop would be incredibly stunted and wouldn't yield nearly as much as it would with a pure water supply. Also, if the water supply were 1% salt, the entire crop could be wiped out.

The data shows that the Brassica rapa plants watered with pure water grew much quicker than those watered with the ones watered with the .5% NaCl solution. Near the end of the 32, day period, it appears that the plants with the .5% salt solution even stopped growing as the line in the graph leveled off.

Three growing areas were set up for this experiment. Each was a plant bed filled with 50% soil and 50% Miracle Grow. Twenty germinated Brassica rapa seeds were planted in each plant bed and all three setups were placed under a halogen light.

Three watering solutions were made: one with pure, distilled water, another with .5% NaCl, and an
