Day 1

          I put 1/4 cup of water in each cup except for the dry one. In one cup I put a teaspoon of vinegar.  In another cup, I put a teaspoon of sugar. In another cup, I put a teaspoon of salt.  In another, I put club soda. In another, I put lemon juice. In another, I put water only. In the last cup, the apple was dry. 

Days 2 & 3

          The cup with sugar, the cup with nothing but apple, and the cup with club soda already started to turn brown. 

Day 4

          Today I checked my apples.  I think vinegar will rot the fastest. Second probably the dry one.  Then club soda. Then the one with lemon juice. Then sugar. Then water only. Last but not least salt which never changed.

   

 


Andrew carefully examines the apples.

Day 5

          The dry apple is rotting and shrinking.  It looks bent and dry.  The salt one hasn’t even started to turn brown.  The lemon juice looks like it has  blue chicken pox. 

Day 6

          On day 5, I was wrong.  That blue chicken pox is rot. So first is lemon juice, then dry, then water only, then sugar, then the next one which could be anyone of them.

 

Day 7

          The one with vinegar is very brown but it hasn’t started to rot. The one with sugar and the one with salt are the most behind. Lemon juice is rotting fast. I just saw club soda have a blue chicken pox.
