Do cut flowers last longer if kept in water that contains aspirin?

INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:
[remember it must be a controlled experiment]
1. A hypothesis
2. Explain how to set up the experiment:
  • brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment
  • include identification of the independent variable
  • the dependent variable
  • identify the control group
  • identify the experimental group(s)
3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment
  • Hypothesis: Cut flowers will last longer if placed in water containing aspirin
  • Other Variables: How much aspirin is placed in the water, the age of the aspirin, temperature of the water, species of flowers, how many flowers per vase, what type of aspirin, how much sunlight are flowers exposed to, how old the flowers are, how long it has been since the flowers were cut, were the flowers exposed to any toxins.
  • Independent Variable: the aspirin that is in the water.
  • Dependent Variable: aspirin will help flowers last longer.
  • Control Group: flowers place in regular water.
  • Experimental Group: The flowers that are placed in water containing aspirin.
Procedure:
  1. Get two vases of the same size
  2. fill one vase with regular water
