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
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
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
Our first item is styrfoam.I think that this will degrade extremely slowly.Styrfoam is a polystyrene foam mixture. -
orange
The orange should decompose just as much as the apple -
Natural cotton material
This should decompose do to being natural -
all natural chip bag
The chip bag should decompose without a problem thanks to its natural recycled composition -
Tin foil
-
apple
The apple should decompose a lot because it is all natrual -
normal plastic bag
This bag will not degrade very well because it is made of plastic -
Newspaper
I think the newspaper will decompose quickly with great effect because paper is made up of trees -
Weather
The weather has been terribly cold these past weeks it has snowed tons and we have missed five days of school. -
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
The orange decomposed just like I predicted it to -
apple conclusion
The apple was nearly inpossible to recognize just like I had predicted. -
styrofoam conclusion
The stryrofoam decomposed less than I expected it to. -
Foil conclusion
I was correct about the foil it bearly decomposed -
paper conclusion
The paper decomposed less than I expected -
sunchips bag conclusion
The sunchips bag desapionted me by decomposing the same amount as the normal chip bag. -
cotton material
The cotton material bearly decomposed.
