Catawater® AG

Even a Third Grader Can Do It…

Emma and Amberlyn wanted to do a Science Fair experiment to see if there is a better way to grow food. Their hopes were that there is a way to help people grow food in less fortunate countries who maybe can’t afford to farm the normal way or whose soil was bad or there was little rain that helps plants grow. This is what they did…

They used an ATP stimulating biocatalyst called Catawater® AG.
They selected sweet potatoes to do their experiment with.
The following pages depict how the project went.

Purpose – Hypothesis - Research

  • Their purpose was to see if they could make a sweet potato grow faster and bigger.
  • Their hypothesis was that by stimulating the plants ATP they would speed up the growth rate.
  • They used the internet to research what ATP is and does.

In the beginning…

  • They selected 2 groups of sweet potatoes and suspended them in tap water as seen in the picture.
  • They used only tap water for the potato on the left.
  • They sprayed Catawater® AG occasionally on the potato on the right.
  • After 1 week the Catawater® AG potato started getting roots and the water stayed clear. The tap water only potato did not get roots and the water became cloudy.

After 2 weeks…

  • The Catawater® AG potato on the right sprouted more roots and even leaves and the water was still clear.
  • The tap water potato on the left barely started to sprout leaves but had no roots and the water was still cloudy.

After 6 weeks…

After 6 weeks they compared the best of the 2 groups of potatoes and were amazed at what they saw.

They really did grow a sweet potato faster with  Catawater® AG.

In the end…

At the end of their experiment Emma and Amberlyn won 2nd place at their local school Science Fair.

Before entering the District Science Fair they wrote down their procedure and results so that when their experiment was reviewed the judges would hopefully understand what they had done.

They understood that it is very important to explain the experiment so that it is regarded as real 3rd grade science.

Emma and Amberlyn’s Conclusion…

Emma and Amberlyn were very proud of what they had finally done.

They proved that there is a very easy way to help grow more food that is more healthy because it doesn’t have to be exposed to chemicals and other bad things.

They realized that maybe this news could spread throughout the world to countries and places where it is hard to grow food because of money, drought or bad soil.

Results…?

Emma and Amberlyn won 1st Place at the District Science Fair !
