It seems after I got all my results that water is the best to stop apples from rotting. The sugar also stopped the rotting process. The soap completely failed. The vinegar changed color. The salt absorbed the moisture. The air still looked eatable but not in the best condition. Overall my entire hypothesis was sort of right and wrong. I think I would have let the apples sit for a month next time.

Day One
Hypothesis
I think that common house hold substances can stop or slow down apples from rotting.
- Get 6 plastic bags and put dry sugar in one, dry salt in another, hand soap in another, Vinegar in another, air in another and the last with water.
- Fill each one so it is at least a half of the jar.
- Get two apples and split it up into 6ths and put one apple in each jar with the aforementioned items.
- Put each jar in a windowsill making sure the spot is not too hot also each needs the exact same amount of sunlight.
- Take photos and make observations every day for a week
- Then Come back and record the results.
