Amazing Apple Oxidation

Cut an apple and watch how quickly it turns brown, then write about the process.

Apples are abundant in fall. For this experiment, cut an apple and observe how quickly the exposed flesh turns brown. Test different methods to prevent browning like lemon juice or refrigeration, and record which method is most effective. Write about your findings, the science behind apple oxidation, and your thoughts on how this experiment could be applied to other food. This prompt combines food science, observation, and practical applications.
