In investigating what happens to plants when you put dish detergent into their water, Jesus N and Lanham tried to find the ingredients for Dawn dish detergent. We found that if you go on the Dawn website, they say that every batch is different, then, they tell you to go to the website for Soap and Detergent Association and find out what is usually in a dish detergent.Then we looked at that and it did not tell us anything helpful. Next we looked at the Material Data and Handling Sheet. It is true, we think, that Dawn has ingredients that are not safe.
Jesus and Richard, his science fair partner, took photographs of what happened to Plant A, which got only water, and Plant B, which got water mixed with Dawn. Plant B started leaning over, and started dying, and turned pink. Richard and Jesus' photographs of this will be at the ASF Broad Elementary School Science Fair tomorrow.
