The effects of phosphates on aquatic plants |
|
|
|
Introduction:
Aquatic
plants are an important component of lake systems. These plants
may be totally submerged beneath the lake surface, floating, or
growing along the shoreline. They provide food and shelter for
bugs, fish and other organisms, prevent shoreline erosion, filter
pollutants from adjacent shoreline activities, and provide oxygen
to the surrounding environment. |
 |
Any conditions that harm such a
balanced environment can potentially destroy thousands of organisms that
live there. Since phosphates are common pollutants of lakes, in this project we investigate
the effect of phosphates on aquatic plants.

Project
description:
In this project you will investigate the effects of different amounts of
phosphate on the growth of aquatic plants. Material needed for your
experiments can be obtained locally. |
