We are conducting observations of fruit in class! We are trying to figure out the best place in class to keep a piece of fruit (control) fresh. Each student chose a different place in the class (independent variable) to store his or her fruit. Depending on the spot, we are already seeing minor changes in our control subjects (apple). We are collecting data over the week to compare our dependent variables (outcomes)..... Hopefully, our class will not stink of rotten fruit on Monday!
