CONTROL: bottled water (Nestle Pure Life) water from: well public stream spring 50 containers test strips
 * Materials**

What is in the level of water from different sources?
 * Question**

If the water is purified and bottled, then it is cleaner and contains less elements.
 * Hypothesis**

1) Collect water from each area, 1 jar/bottle full that will be enough to fill 10 canisters (film canister size) 2) Test each sample for nitrates, nitrites, total hardness, total alkalinity, pH, and ammonia, using test strips 3) Graph results, showing the different levels of nitrates, nitrites, total hardness, total alkalinity, pH, and ammonia, and then graph the average of the 5 different levels of water.
 * Procedure**

10/20- Bought the test strips and ammonia test from the Pet Store 10/22- Collected creek water, refrigerated 10/23- Tested creek water, bottled water (control), and well water using the test strips 10/28- Naomi gave me stream water from her house 11/5- Collected public water from the school. 11/12- Tested public and Naomi's stream water.
 * Observations**


 * ~ Bottled water: ||~ Nitrate ||~ Nitrite ||~ Total Hardness ||~ Total Alkalinity ||~ pH ||~ Ammonia ||
 * 1 || 0 || 0 || 75 || 40 || 5.5 || .25 ||
 * 2 || 0 || 0 || 75 || 40 || 5.5 || .25 ||
 * 3 || 0 || 0 || 75 || 40 || 5.5 || .25 ||
