The Great Banana

polls & surveys

We are working our way through the scientific method again with The Great Banana Experiment.  We will also be practicing our process skills.
Today, we made our hypothesis.  Students chose:  How we store the bananas WILL make a difference in the freshness (OR) How we store the bananas WILL NOT make a difference in the freshness.  
We then brainstormed locations and ways to store the bananas and chose 3 different options for our experiment.  We placed one in the refrigerator, wrapped one in foil and placed it on the counter, and stored one in a bowl on the counter.  We also discussed the difference in a hypothesis and predicting.  Students recorded a prediction of which banana would stay freshest.  We hope that you will participate and record your prediction in the survey above!  

We will continue observing the bananas through the next week and recording our observations in our science journals.

we might have to test out this theory once our bananas decay!
