Description

We will be testing the impacts of salts (MgCl, KCl, and NaCl) on algae growth in local water bodies. In 50 mL of water, we added 1 g of salt. These were placed under a heat lamp for 1 week. Our results will look at changes in turbidity as a result of algae growth.

Comments

The faculty mentor for this project was Rebecca Layne, Environmental Science.
