Which
slice of
pear will
turn
brown
first?
(What you think
the answer is)
Which slice
turned brown
first?
pear in water
pear in plastic
pear with lemon
juice
(What you learned from
performing this experiment)
Have you ever opened your lunch bag and found your yummy
pear slices have turned brown? Enzymes in your slice of pear
cause this to happen. Foods like apples, potatoes, bananas and
pears all have enzymes inside their cells. When these enzymes
are exposed to oxygen in the air, the flesh of the fruit turns
brown. This is called oxidation.
Question: Hypothesis: Observation: Conclusion:
Put one slice of pear into a
bowl of water, one slice in a
plastic baggie, and cover the
third slice with lemon juice
and leave it out. (You can
eat the fourth slice!) Wait for
20 minutes and observe.
