This week I am hoping you will get an understanding of mummification.

 

Watch the clip...

First of all, read how to complete the experiment using the link.

Then we will adapt this slightly.

Our question is...

WHAT ARE THE IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR MUMMIFYING AN APPLE?

Try setting up the experiment in 3 or 4 different locations.  You  could try....

In a dark, kitchen cupboard, outside, in the fridge or anywhere else you can think of. 

Try to have a range of dark and light places or warm and cold places.

Leave it them for a week before checking them.

 

You could take pictures of you setting up the experiment.
