Project
description:
In this project you test different foods or fruits for their vitamin C
content. Materials that you need for your experiments can be found
locally or purchased online. You may complete your experiments in one
day, however there are hundreds of other vitamin C related projects that
you may choose to do and they take more than a few days. Among other
vitamin C related questions that can be the subject of a Science Project
are:
- How does the amount of vitamin C
change when fruits get older?
- How does the storage temperature
affect the amount of vitamin C in fruits?
- How does cooking affect the vitamin
C in foods?
