so heres what i gotta do...

so once again ive decided that my srp is going to be called ' what is the best way to stop cut apples from going brown'.

i have no idea how this is going to work but im going to give it a go... right now

firstly...

i think i am going to need:

- LOTS and LOTS of similar sized room temperature apples (approximately 5 or 6)
- big bowls
- stuff to dip the apples in like vinegar, oil, water, apple juice, salty water, sugary water etc.
- a knife to cut the apples with
- a chopping board to cut the apples on

and then...

- first i cut the apples into halves, or quarters, or eights...or sixteenths.
- then i fill the bowls with enough dipping stuff to cover the whole apple.
- then i dip the apples in the stuff and i observe the changes.

in the end...

it should probably take about 1 day but i could repeat it lots of times or do different situations or something.

however...

im thinking that i should do 1 apple where i dont do anything to it. but then i dont know. should i soak the apple in it or should i just paint the apple with stuff? coz if i soak it, thats a lot of oil im gonna need. and then what do i do with it afterwards. but painting the apples with stuff looks really dodgy.

oh and im thinking that my independent variables would be the different substances and the dependent variable would be the brown-ness of the apples. and the controlled variables would the amount of substance the apples will be dippied/painted in.

i think...

i think...

bye.

BRAINWAVE ALERT!!!

I GOT A REALLY GOOD IDEA FOR MY SRP!!! and i bet you anything that its better than yours :)

or not...

thats all :)

WHOOPS MY BAD.

so anyways i just realised that we are supposed to name our independent and dependent variables for something or something and i didnt do that

so i think im going to do it right about now

so here i go..

wish me luck

please??

here are my ideas...
1. whether the growth rate of plants is the same for every plant
2. whether different kinds of music will affect the growth rate of plants
3. whether different kinds of fertiliser affect the growth rate of plants

here are the independent variables...
1. the type of plants
2. the different kinds of music
3. the fertiliser

and here are the dependent variables
1. the growth rate of the plants
2. the growth rate of the plants
3. the growth rate of the plants


and just because i want to im going to add in controlled variables
1. the amount of sunlight and water the plants get, the soil that i plant it in
2. the amount of sunlight and water the plants get, the soil that i plant it in
3. the amount of sunlight and water the plants get, the soil that i plant it in


yeah thats all
bye for now not forever?

i really suck at writing poetry

so i decided wrote a story instead...

i dont know why im doing this. i really dont know.

oh well. here goes nothing... or something...

sooo...

once upon a time there was this little girl

she was only 14 years old

she had brown skin and black hair

she was only 5 feet 2 inches tall (which isnt much)

one day she was thinking

she didnt really think very much

but she still though alot

and she came up with nothing

at all

so she thought some more

and then she started to wonder about things

things like:

-whether the growth rate of plants is the same for every plant
-whether different music affects the growth rate of plants
-whether different fertiliser affects the growth rate of plants


and to this day i think she still wonders about this stuff

and for those of you who are curious..

i dont know this girl...

but somehow speaking it just got out that she really really wants to poke science in the face right now...

figuratively speaking
of course :)



she actually really really likes science... alot


































yeah thats all...


bye :)
