Our Hypothesis:
Do you think that the Candies will kill the Elodea or help it thrive? Which candies do you think will work best or worst? Why?
We think that the Sour skittles will do the most damage to the Elodea because according to wellnessdentalcare.com sour skittles have the lowest pH level of all the candies we are using. The lower the pH the less likely the elodea has the chance to survive, saying that the elodea thrives in environments that have 7.5 and 8.5 levels of pH. The Sour Skittles have a average pH of 2 and 1. The lower the pH the less likely the elodea has the chance to thrive, therefore, the sour skittles have the lowest pH out of all the other candies, the sour patch kids have an average pH of around 3-3.5, and the pop rocks have an average of 6. Since the sour skittles have a low pH level compared to the other two candies, makes them most likely to kill the elodea.
