SCIENCE EXPERIMENT

Question- Will locally grown food last longer than imported food?

Hypothesis- The food form the USA will rot sooner than the imported food.

Experiment- I will leave out two bananas and two tomatoes and I will see which rots faster.

Results- The banana form Ecuador didn’t rot as fast as the locally grown one from USA. The tomato form Mexico had the same results as the banana from Ecuador.
