Today we did learned that sliced apples brown because the apple cells get exposed to oxygen. We conducted an experiment by testing to see which liquid----lemon juice, lemon-lime soda, water prevents apples from browning the best. We soaked the sliced apples in the different liquids and placed them on a plate (we even left one apple slice that was not soaked in anything). We had to wait about six hours then look at our results to see which slice was the least brown. The apple slices that were soaked in lemon juice won!
