The ecology conservationists are always talking about how the chemicals we seem to use mindlessly each day are actually polluting the earth badly. There is a lot of debate on how the water polluted with dish washers and detergents enters the water cycle and causes harm to the environment in terms of both flora and fauna.

In this science project we are going to try and prove if detergents actually do affect the growth of plants. To do so we are going to use three identical plants and use one of them as control. That means the control plant will be kept under the same environmental conditions but will get regular water. The second plant will be given half cup detergent with half cup water. While the their plant will get half cup dish washer fluid and half cup water.

Use the above combination to water the three potted plants on a daily basis for a week and observe the effects on each individual plant. By using our hypothesis it would stand that the plant that got normal water grows at a steady pace. At the same time the plants that are getting the supposedly poisonous mix of detergent and dish water should not be doing quite so well. Is that really what happens in your science project? Check and see.
