Created by: Lara Washington
PurposeThe purpose of this experiment is to
see how the apple reacts to the different types of liquid poured on to it.

Controlling the experiment
Ziploc bagControl
Same Location
HypothesisI predict that the apple with wine
poured onto it would grow the most mold. I would think that because when Dr. Punja came in, he shared the fact
that alcohol contains mold. I think that in a mold on mold situation, it would
grow the most molds.
Materials Ziploc Bags x5
SharpieApple (any kind)
PerfumeWineMilk
Soy Sauce
Procedure1. Cut the apple into 5 equal pieces.2. Take the first piece and put it into a Ziploc bag, seal it
and label it as “Control”.3. Take the second piece of apple and put it into a
Ziploc bag. Before sealing the bag, spray 3 sprays of perfume onto it. With a sharpie, label the bag as “Perfume”.
4. Take the third piece of apple and put it into a Ziploc bag. Before sealing the bag, pour a fair amount of wine onto it. With a sharpie, label the bag as “Wine”.
5. Take the fourth piece of apple and put it into a Ziploc bag. Before sealing the bag, pour a fair amount of milk onto it. With a sharpie, label the bag as “Milk”
6. Take the fifth piece of apple and put it into a Ziploc bag. Before sealing the bag, pour a fair amount of soy sauce onto it. With a sharpie, label the bag as “Soy Sauce”.
7. Place apples in a controlled environment.

The conclusion to this experiment is that mold would grow anywhere
even if you don’t do anything to its food. It just needs the right temperature and environment.
