I need to find information on how common household chemicals affect plant growth and nutritional value.

Hello,

Have you formed a hypothesis or question for project? https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... tion.shtml

I recommend that you do background research on plant growth (factors, biochemical considerations, etc) and common household chemicals (What are the active ingredients? How would it affect plants at the chemical and physiological level?)

Take a look at the Science Buddies Project Guide, it's really useful:

Here are some websites that may be of help:

Thanks for the help. I do have a hypothesis and I know what chemicals I am going to test and what plant I will first be testing.
