We did "Which vegetable burns the quickest?" for our science fair experiment. We decided to do this experiment because we aren't humongous fans of vegetables and we just thought we'd try and get them back for all of the times we have been forced to eat them.
Yes, we're talking to you broccoli! But we actually didn't use broccoli in our experiment. All of the vegetables that we burnt were: Onion, cucumber, capsicum, avocado, carrot, lettuce, eggplant, pumpkin and potato. We burnt them in a pan over flames. (No oil in the pan.)
The results (These are the order in which they burnt. From 1st burnt being the one that burn the quickest and 9th burnt being the one that took the longest amount of time to burn):
1st Burnt = Lettuce
2nd Burnt = Capsicum
3rd Burnt = Eggplant
4th Burnt = Onion
5ht Burnt = Cucumber
6th Burnt = Avocado
7th Burnt = Potato
8th Burnt = Carrot
9th Burnt = Pumpkin
We found out a lot of things including that lettuce was the vegetable that took the shortest amount of time to burn and that pumpkin took the longest amount of time to burn. We found out that capsicum and eggplant skins are similar than we thought they were. And we also learnt that what is inside the avocado is oil, not water or juice.
our partnership was one thing that worked very well. We both co-operated and helped each other. Another thing that worked well, and payed off, was how the science board looked. We received a lot of compliments about the look and colour of our science fair board. And people could tell how much effort we put in to make it look all flash and pretty.
We found that getting everything done on time was quite a challenge. We only had a few days to run the tests, type up the information and border it and tape it onto the board. But it was worth it in the end.
