high schol senior BSing a science project. How would plants grow when watered with the following?

-boiled water (stove)
-boiled water (microwave)
-tap water
-filtered water
-melted ice from an ice maker (would this be the same as tap?)

All perfectly fine, you should fertilize the ice cream plant with sprinkles though.

Lieing in any science report is wrong, do it youself you fuck. underageb& gtfo

Probably a bit late for him to actually do the work now.

Here's the problem. I totally was, but I didn't realize that with this next progress report, the teacher actually wants to see the final results, which I obviously don't have.

Then he should submit a report saying he was lazy and did not do the work, but stating his hypothesis and maybe some gathered data with sources to back it up

ice cream ice is salty in case you weren't aware

also, google.

Google only gave results for microwaved water, the regular water wasn't listed as purified or tap.

Also the ice is from a regular freezer ice maker. Not ice cream related.

>telling underage b& to gtfo
>can't spell lying

Also OP, any boiled water will make a plant grow like shit because it strips the nutrients. No idea about the others though

If the water is still hot (40 C), this kills the plant.

Thanks a lot. What if it's cooled to room temperature? Still the same result? Or normally?

Tap water is a lot cleaner than you think. Any first world country monitors their tap water about 300 times an hour to make sure nothing bad happens with it.

anyway, just a thought:
warm water dissolves less gas than cold water. this doesnt impact plants at all. but, if you have, say, a fish tank, it's going to fare a lot worse in a warm, sunny environment. write about how you put one fish tank in a sunny place, one in a cooler place, and how that fucked with the one in the sunny place.

yes but in lots of places in america the water isn't clean enough to drink.
