Which Type of Food Molds the Fastest? By Vanessa
Conclusion: When I first started
this project I asked myself "Which
foods should I choose that molds
the fastest?" After asking myself
that question I decided that I
would choose: Meat , Carrot, rice,
and candy. After that I put the
foods in a plastic container and
opened the lid, then I put it in the
balcony. Then I just waited for 5
days to see how the foods rotten,
but before my time of leaving the

about the advertisement….it
turns out that more people
like pocca chips…. I was a
little surprise at first. But

changed it. My hypothesis was
that meat would be the most rot-

My hypothesis was supported be-

Does Music Have An Affect on Plants? By: Sufiah
Conclusion: My hypothesis
was supported because when I
did my experiment, "Will Mu-
sic Affect The Plants Growth?",
I let both of them listen to the
music through headphones for
about two weeks. The result I
got from this experiment is that
soft and classical music works
better than the rock n roll one. My Plant
The plant that got the classical
music is Plant A, and the rock n roll
music is Plant B. By the end of the two
weeks, I found out that Plant A was still
fine like before, but is an inch taller.
What kind of snack make the most concentration while
My question was "What kind
of snack makes happy when

they are boring?" but after
reading my feedback from
Jeon, I changed my second
question " What kind of snack
make the most concentration
while reading?" Jeon said mak-
ing boring is a bad idea, so I
changed it to the second ques-
tion. As the second question,
my hypothesis was the gum
would be the best snack that
make us the most concentra-
tion. My hypothesis supported

was not supported because
when I do my experiment,
"what candle melt faster the
color candle or the white
candle?" I put the two can-
dles on a plate and then I
counted one two three then I
put the fire on them. My
friend Hye Rin say that the
white candle would melt
faster. I even ask my mom
and my dad and they say
that the white candle will
