Hi Lea Ann - I don't have the directions anymore, they came from a
friend who thought I should try it, since I was using a microwave at
that time for convenience. She had seen the instructions/test on
some health list, but neither of us have the original instructions. I
think you could design your own experiment though, and as someone else
mentioned, probably having someone else do the marking, using "A" and
"B" to show which pot should get which water, but not tell your son
which one is which till after the experiment is concluded - this would
make the experiment even better, since he wouldn't be aware of which one
was getting microwaved water. Joy

Hello Joy,
Can you tell me where you got the directions for the experiment? My
10 year old son is going to do this for his Science Fair Experiment.
I'd love to get a copy of the directions.
Thanks in advance.
Lea Ann

You do need to cool the water, of course. I did this three times,
comparing it with water boiled on a stove. Took less than two weeks
for the plant being watered with microwaved water died, each time. I
too thought there could have been other causes, which was why I
tried it three times. It really blew me away. I don't know if just
warming the water would make a difference or not - the directions on
the experiment given to me said to bring it to a boil, so that is
what I did. Joy

I'll try this. How long is it supposed to take to kill the plant? If
the period is too long, the plant could have died of other causes.
And I presume one lets the microwaved water cool before applying to
the plant soil, otherwise, watering any plant with hot water will
kill it.
Do I heat the water to boiling? Or is any period of microwaving,
even just to warming supposed to change the water enough to kill the
plant?
