    Decomp.dig

    Today is the first day of our decomposition dig.We will be testing the degradibility.of each item.This experiment will last all nine weeks.
  • My Hypothesis

    My Hypothesis

    I beleive the items will degrade in this order
    1.apple 80%
    2.orange 72%
    3.sunchips bag 70%
    4.cotton material 69%
    5.paper 68%
    6.styrfoam 40%
    7.plastic bag 18%
    8.foil 9%
  • Dig begins

    Dig begins

    Today is the day of our dig we are testing the how each item decomposes.Here are the items styrofoam,apples,oranges,chip bag,special chip bag,foil,and paper.
  • styrfoam

    styrfoam

    Our first item is styrfoam.I think that this will degrade extremely slowly.Styrfoam is a polystyrene foam mixture.
  • orange

    orange

    The orange should decompose just as much as the apple
  • Natural cotton material

    Natural cotton material

    This should decompose do to being natural
  • all natural chip bag

    all natural chip bag

    The chip bag should decompose without a problem thanks to its natural recycled composition
  • Tin foil

  • apple

    apple

    The apple should decompose a lot because it is all natrual
  • normal plastic bag

    normal plastic bag

    This bag will not degrade very well because it is made of plastic
  • Newspaper

    Newspaper

    I think the newspaper will decompose quickly with great effect because paper is made up of trees
  • Weather

    Weather

    The weather has been terribly cold these past weeks it has snowed tons and we have missed five days of school.
  • weather update

    weather update

    Lately we have had terrible weather but these past couple of days it have been excellent and warm
  • Conclusion

    Today we dug up all of are items from our decomposition experiment. Here are my conclusions
  • orange conclusion

    orange conclusion

    The orange decomposed just like I predicted it to
  • apple conclusion

    apple conclusion

    The apple was nearly inpossible to recognize just like I had predicted.
  • styrofoam conclusion

    styrofoam conclusion

    The stryrofoam decomposed less than I expected it to.
  • Foil conclusion

    Foil conclusion

    I was correct about the foil it bearly decomposed
  • paper conclusion

    paper conclusion

    The paper decomposed less than I expected
  • sunchips bag conclusion

    sunchips bag conclusion

    The sunchips bag desapionted me by decomposing the same amount as the normal chip bag.
  • cotton material

    cotton material

    The cotton material bearly decomposed.
