I researched the similarities and differences of different plants and their environments in order to answer the question - are all plants the same? I wanted to explore this specific query because during my class investigation - where we observed how different plants reacted to different nitrate levels in their water - it was more than apparent that the results varied depending on the plant species. I simply wanted to prove the point that plants definitely are not all the same.

For our project, we planned to investigate how different types of water affected plant growth. We were not able to complete our project because we had to move to distance learning and all of our materials were left at school.
