Science Fair Proposal

1. My topic is marine biology.

2. "Within 50 to 100 years the ocean's acidity can more than double..." -Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute

3. When exposed to 7.5 pH ocean water, as opposed  to 8.04 pH water, an Aurelia aurita will be smaller in size in the ephyra stage when grown from the polyp stage.

4. I will perform my experiment by getting 3 different pH waters (7.5, 7.8, and 8.04) into a total of 60 wells (20 wells per acidity,) in which the polyps are placed. When the polyps have strobilated I will  measure all of the ephyra and get the average of each acidity and compare them afterwards. I will need 2M HCl and ocean water as well as polyps of Aurelia aurita.

5. Animal Biology
