Which Tropical Fruit Will Survive In the Hottest Conditions?
So I am going to use 5 different tropical fruits for this experiment (10 of each fruit)
- Mango
-Banana
-Lychee
-Lemon
-Pineapple
-Kiwi ( as a spare alternative)
I am going to leave these fruits out in the sun for a number of hours. I am going to take before and after diagrams of the fruit with the exposure of the sun. I am going to see if it has gotten softer/harder after the sun, turned a different colour. The tropical fruit that is least effected will be the ''winner''.
It is hard to keep this consistent at times however I am going to try as hard as possible. I will buy all these fruits on the same day and start the experiment the following day. I will go to Centennial Park, where sunlight is plenty and leave it in an area where sun light is fully exposed (without any shade at all).
I will observe it like this: fruit after 2 hours of sun, after 4 hours and over 6 hours. Its changes will be recorded. I think this might be not too complicated so if Ms thinks its too easy then I will rise the difficulty of my analysis. I might include tasting it, e.g. if the fruit changed in taste, turned sour, or flavourless due to heat.
As emntioned before I am buying 10 of each kind of fruit. So altogether basically 50 fruits =)

Yeah, I do think this is too easy... and I'm also not keen on the idea of you tasting it Renee. You need to make sure that you are actually looking at what is it in your experiment that is actually affecting the "rot".
Remember you need to mention the independent and the dependent variables within your experiment. If you can't phrase it like:
I'm testing how A affects B...
Then your experiment is not a proper scientific experiment.
And note that it has to be a DIRECT relationship. Something like "I'm testing how different types of fruit affects the rotting rate" is not a direct relationship.
