Packaging Fruit Experiment
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2015 12:54 pm
I am getting ready for the science fair on August 8th. I am figuring out if different packages will effect the growth of mold on a banana over a period of 2-4 weeks. I have a paper bag, zip lock bag, and a Walmart fruit bag. I am getting ready to review my experiment, but I do not know how to find a control variable for my experiment. My teacher says I may be able teacher says I could use saran wrap, but he also says it may not work. Do you know if that could work, or would something else be better to use?
I also have a question about the variables that stay the same. I would keep the bananas the same weight, color, and size, and I would put them in the same room with the same amount of light, and at the same temperature. Although, I am not sure if the bag size should stay the same. Would that mess up the experiment? Or would it be okay if they were different sizes?
