Who this list is for
This apple browning experiment supply list is for children comparing apple slices exposed to lemon juice, white vinegar, salt, and water. It is for teacher-approved classroom observation, with apples treated as experiment materials rather than snacks.
How to use this list
Label the small clear cups with a permanent marker before cutting apples. Put each apple slice on a paper plate, measure the selected liquid or salt with measuring spoons, and start the digital timer once treatments begin. Students can use observation sheets to note color changes at the same time intervals.
Common mistakes
Do not allow students to eat apple slices after the experiment. Avoid unlabeled cups, since lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and water can be confused after setup. Keep slice size and observation timing as consistent as possible. Follow teacher-approved food handling procedures when using plastic knives and preparing the apples.
What is on this list
You will need six apples, lemon juice, white vinegar, salt, and a pitcher of water. The list also includes 12 small clear cups, six paper plates, six plastic knives, measuring spoons, a permanent marker, observation sheets, and a digital timer. Cross off cups, markers, timers, or measuring spoons already available in the classroom.
When you are done
Collect the observation sheets and dispose of all apple slices and used materials as directed by the teacher. Wipe the work area and return unused supplies. Keep the results, not the apples, for comparing which treatment showed the most visible browning over time.
