Water pH

[mckenzmi]

Are there any good websites for info on pH, how it affects organisms, and any other similar topics?

Hi,

Welcome to science buddies. Here is information on the science buddies website about pH:

Here is a project idea on pH.

Here is a site that describes a pH project using plants:

Here is an example of a scientific reference reporting results of a study on microorganisms, in this case the bacteria growing in a cow’s rumen. It’s a real literature reference, but read it and try to understand what the authors were doing:

I would not recommend doing a pH project on animals as this would require special approval.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions about doing your science project.
