We made predictions about what we believe will decompose and what ingredients won't.We think: the fruit and vegetables, egg box and newspaper will decompose and the rest will not. We will update our blog to let you know our findings overtime.

Science - observing over time
Today in science we have been really busy! We have set up an investigation where we will be observing over time. We have gathered ingredients such as: egg shells, an egg box, broccoli, paper towels, newspaper, dill, teabags, a banana, banana skin and mushrooms. We have taken a picture that you can see below. We then poured water in and covered the top with netting. Next week we will observe our compost bin to see if there are any changes.

Interesting investigative work! Why have you predicted that the fruit, vegetables, egg box and newspaper will decompose?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about your findings.
The food will decompose because it is soft and food goes mouldy. The newspaper is wet and therefore it will fall apart. At the beginning of the experiment, the bottle was full to the brim and now the ingredients have started to decompose and condense. It really smells!!!! Feel free to come and smell for yourself!
