Mummified Apple Findings.....

**CAUTION**
This may be disturbing to some. :0 )

Well, one week ago today (8-29-2011) we mummified an apple!
1 1/3 c. of baking soda
2/3 c. of salt
The above was mixed together and poured on top of one peeled apple.
The other apple (our control apple) was left untouched.

Hypothesis:
Apple uncovered will rot and control apple will stay white.

(Above) Control Apple left out in container alone.

(Above) Apple covered in baking soda and salt.

Were we right?

Notice in the picture above --
Our mummified apple had shrunk inside the salt and baking soda.
It had also decayed quicker than the control apple.

Our hypothesis was INCORRECT!
YUCK! I would hate to see a mummy!

Have fun Learning!
