Scientific Explanation Based on Experiment

The apple took longer to decompose than the petal and raspberries. According to our experiment the apple did not change on day 1 and 3 but it did on day 8. On day 8 blue mold started to form on the apple (about 10% of it was covered). This means that since it is bigger it takes longer to form mold so you can see it. Another example is on day 3 the petal and raspberries were completely decomposed, but the apple was still the same exact size since day 1. This shows that the smaller it is the faster it decomposes and the bigger one takes a lot longer to decompose. In conclusion, the bigger the plant is the longer it takes for it to get moldy.

science this week

This week in science we did challenges. my favorite challenge  was a penny  challenge. In the penny challenge each group got a bowl of water, a small piece of tinfoil,  and some pennies. The object was to build a boat out of tinfoil then to put it in the water and drop pennies in to it slowly and to get a lot of pennies in it with out it sinking or getting water in it. The most my group got was 35 pennies.  The hardest part was to make sure the boat had no holes or some places where a hole would open up.
