puppy with a potato

       Me and my sister just did a science project, we got to shrink a potato, we put little slices of potato in different solutions. We keep the potato in the solution for half an hour and then see how they changed, to shrink your own potato follow these easy steps :

  • Peel a potato.
  • Take 2 Tablespoons of sugar and mix with 4 ounces of water, this is solution A.
  • Take 2 Teaspoons of salt and mix with 4 ounces of water, this is solution B.
  • Solution C is just water.
  • Each solution should be labeled.
  • The potato slices should be thin and 1 square inch.
  • They each should be in a different shallow dish.  
  •  Use just enough of each solution to cover the potato. 
  • Wait half an hour and measure the potato to see how the it changed.
    Me and my sister gave our puppy the rest of the potato and took a video, it's strange, very strange. But the video wouldn't upload so you  can't see it, sorry.
