Our Experiments

To enhance our knowledge of the components that make up a balanced diet, we've done 2 experiments, in one we observed water's interaction with substances including itself, which allowed us to pinpoint its properties. We also tested water's capability of dissolving many substances, and its incapability to dissolve some. 

In the second experiment, we added solutions to different foods and observed the results, which hinted at what the contents of the foods were. 

For example, we added a solution to an apple, a potato, and a piece of bread. We were told that if the substance turns black, then it contains starch. Then, we had to conclude which one of these foods had no starch at all. The bread, potato, and apple turned black.  However, the orange didn't. So, we concluded that oranges don't have any starch.
