Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi,

I am participating in a science fair in a couple of months. At first, I was interested in designing a self-watering mechanism for plants. So, I was able to get two Vernier soil moisture sensors. This way I would be able to obtain some data before constructing this mechanism. However, this doesn't interest me anymore. So, I would like some help in coming up with another idea using the same soil moisture sensors. All in all, I would somehow like to relate my new experiment to capillarity, applications in space, a water study, or microorganisms.

Thanks
