Experiment is over.
Results turned put as expected - lemon juice will preserve the apples the longest and keep them fresher compared to the others!!!!!

I found a colour scale to match and compare to my apples.

No worries! I spoke to my friend about my problem, she said that in her experiment, she'll be observing instead of using an actual measuring equipment/tool. She also said she spoke to her teacher and her teacher said it was fine to observe

Quick update:
My experiment is going well, no hazards have occurred or any problems with it!
However, I did have trouble recording data - I was confused on how I was going to measure the brownness within a table.

Measuring the brownness of an apple:
When the flesh is cut, the oxygen interacts with chemicals causing the apple to brown.
Throughout my experiment, I will measure the sight, smell and texture of the apple - to record data on which apple had stayed preserved and fresh the longest.

So far, its only been two days and I can already see results.
The apple cider vinegar is doing very poorly compared to the lemon juice.

My SRP plan was approved and I was excited to start my experiment. However I did get a few notices to fix from my feedback - I still needed to do further research of the following:
- how am I measuring the brownness or rot of the apple?
- how am I going to divide the apple into exactly equal amounts?
- does it matter if the liquids are at different temperatures?
- how long will this experiment continue on for?


2/03/17
So I researched the following above from my previous entry. I think I am ready to start my experiment. In three days I will go and purchase all my materials and equipment needed from coles or preferably anywhere that sells the items at a reasonable price - I doubt anything will be expensive.

I finally bought what I needed from coles and the mason jars from the reject shop. If I can (most likely), I will eventually post a short video on my blog of my experiment and the process of this exciting prac!

There is a slight difficulty in uploading my video of my prac on this website. So instead I will provide a link to my account on YouTube.
