Oh my god! Oh my god! OH MY GOD!!!!
Hey everyone reading this! Guess what? I won grand prize at my science fair! I seriously did not think that I would even win a ribbon! If you do not believe me for some unknown reason I am uploading the picture proof below this post. I would like to thank (god, I sound like someone who just won a Grammy award) my family for helping me on this project, my friends who decided to look at my project, all the science teachers, and viewers like you. Thank you. Well, see you next year when the science fair starts again. Good bye!

Science Experiment - Day Nineteen (also last day! :( )
Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that this will be the last day that I am going to blog on this project unfortunately. Not only that but I have also watered the plants on this last day and completed my boring tri-fold poster that you could see in the pics page. Now here are the final results.
As you can see, Instant Coffee won the battle with the highest height of 14 inches and is now named the Garden King! I will now say my final goodbye and I thank everyone for reading this, including people from Australia and Germany. Now good bye!

My research on acid rain.
It appears as if my plants with orange juice, lemonade, and tropical punch aren't doing so well and since they all have citrus acid in them, I decided to do some research on acid rain. What acid rain actually does is lower the pH of the lakes and rivers and destroys high elevated trees. It also seems that lemon juice and orange juice are more acidic than acid rain itself which is pretty shocking. Black Coffee has the same pH as normal rain, while milk is on the basic side.
