Rotten Apple Science Experiment

Food goes rotten if you leave it long enough.
You can slow down the rotting process though and we tried to do this with an apple.
 
Rotting Apple Experiment a
 
You Need:
 
a fresh apple
4 plastic cups
knife (to cut the apple)
table salt
epsom salts
baking soda
spoon
 
Cut the apple into 4 segments and place one segment into each cup.
We labelled our cups with a black marker and recorded what substance we put into what number cup. You need to cover the apple with the substance.
 
Cup 1 – table salt
Cup 2 – epsom salts
Cup 3 – baking soda
Cup 4 – nothing
 
We left them in a cool place for a week and then we came back and compared them.
 
Cup one with the table salt looked to be the best preserved. Salt draws the moisture out of food. This means that the micro-organisms that cause decay cannot thrive.
 
The baking side discolours the apple. This was our worse decayed apple segment.
 
 
This is a picture of our apple segments after they were left for a week.
