6. Which Fruit is Healthier?
Not all fruits and vegetables contain the same nutritional value. This experiment aims to determine whether the density of fruit and vegetables indicates it’s nutritional value. For this experiment, you will need various fruits and vegetables, a scale, water, and a 500-1000mL cylinder. After choosing samples, it is necessary to create a chart of each sample’s nutritional value and then weigh each of them. Then fill the cylinder with water and record the volume so you can submerge a sample in the water and measure the volume again. Repeat the process with every sample and finally, calculate volume, mass, and density using the weight and displacement measurement. Compare the densities to the nutritional content from the chart.
