My Project

• Aspirin is very beneficial for humans so I tested to see if it was the same for plants
• and effect there growth.
• Hypothesis:
• If I dissolve aspirin in water, then I exspect to see the plant have more growth
• because aspirin will be benefiting the plant.

HOW I DID THIS

• I did by using four of the same type of plant, I used basil.
• Two of the plants said no aspirin in which I just watered the plants with water.
• The other two plants said aspirin which I watered the plants with one 81mg
• aspirin tablet. Which was distributed between the two. Each plant got
• 20ml of water each.

Week One

• I planted the seeds and placed the pots in a garden window
• where they would get sunlight. I also started to observe
• them and water when necessary.

WEEK TWO

• By week two buds started to sprout out of the pots
• labelled no aspirin. The plants watered with aspirin did
• not sprout out until week three.

WEEK THREE

• During week three the plants started to grow in the pots
• that were watered with aspirin. Those plants by the
• beginning of this experiment became moldy.

WEEK FOUR

• There was a noticeable difference between the amount of growth
• from the plants watered without aspirin. There was also a noticeable
• difference of the shape and amount of leaves on the stem. On
• the plants with no aspirin there was three leaves not two like the leaves
• watered with aspirin.

WEEK FIVE

• With the aspirin plants you can notice a difference in the
• amount of buds that have sprouted and the significance hight difference
• from the aspirin plants to the no aspirin plants. The leaf size is smaller
• and the difference in the size of the leaf.

Week Six

• The number of buds on the aspirin plants has decreased.
• The no aspirin plants have increased in height and in the
• number of buds observed and counted.

FINAL WEEK, WEEK SEVEN

• Over the seven weeks the plants watered with aspirin decreased in
• the amount of buds each week until they got to one bud like pot
• number two of the aspirin plants. Some of the seeds watered with aspirin
• did not germinate. The plants without aspirin increased in the amount
• of buds each week until the experiment was over.

Coclusion

• In conclusion by completing this experiment, I
• learned that aspirin benefits humans to make them feel better,
• but does not benefit plants in any way.
