conclusion

Conclusion: 
My hypothesis was true. I said that the warmer the water the more potassium, even though my water wasn’t ever terribly warm I can conclude that the warmer the water the more potassium there will be. The only thing that threw me off was my visit 3 and my visit 4. During visit 3 the temperature was 40 and amount of potassium was 1.25ppm and during visit 4 the temperature was 58 witch was higher but the amount of potassium was still 1.25. 
Some changes that I would have made to make my experiment better If I had to do it over is that I would do my experiment through out all the seasons to be sure it depended on water temperature. See if the Summer and spring would be 4 ppms and 3 ppms instead of 1 ppms and 0 ppms. 
If I could test something else I think that I would test pollution in the water. The water that I was testing looked like it had greece that was floating on the top. Im not sure what it was I am assuming it was some sort of pollution that made the water this way. So I would be curious to see if the pollution has anything to do with the water temperature
