The Flip On Teflon
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Sudbury | | City: | Sudbury, ON | | School: | Marymount Academy | | Abstract: | This project tested the effects of fumes emitted from 2 types of Teflon pans and a regular stainless steel pan, on pole bean plants. The Teflon pan fumes stunted the growth of the bean plants. Those plants exposed to one of the Teflon pans also developed holes and white patches on the leaves. However, the stainless steel pan had no effects on the plants. |
