Cucumbers Lab Report

In this experiment, the scientists will research and test which of the four substances is the most efficient at absorbing water in cucumbers. The independent variable is the different substances being used. The dependent variable in the experiment is the amount of water absorbed. There are many constants including the same brand of cucumber slices, the same amount of each substance applied, the same measuring tools being used, and the same observation time. The control of these scientists’ experiment is no substances applied.

The Scientists have hypothesized that if salt, sugar, baking powder, are applied to the cucumbers, the salt will absorb the most wa, then the salt will be more efficient in absorbing water from the cucumber
