Question:Are dark green leafy vegetables higher in vitamin C than their lighter colored counterparts?
Purpose:To determine if Darker vegetables have more vitamin C than lighter ones.
Hypothesis:I think Darker green vegetables have more vitamin C than lighter green vegetables because that is probably what enhances their color and makes them darker.Another reason this is my hypothesis is that
Variables: independent variable- is how much substance is put in each test tube. controlled(constant)variable-how much iodine is put in each substance,the amount of pulp used each time,and the amount of cornstarch and water. dependent variable- the change of the color of the substance
Materials:
Dark Green, Leafy Veggies- Spinach, Broccoli
Light Green

Result and discussion:
My hypothesis was wrong as I found out after the experiment that it was infact the lighter colored green veggies that had more vitamin C than the dark ones.So if you had to pick between the two I would suggest the lighter colored ones as they have more Vitamin C which is good for nutritional value.You had to add more drops of iodine to the light veggie pulps until it turned dark purple.The dark green veggies took a less amount of drops of iodine until it turned dark purple as well.

The purpose of this experiment was to determine if darker green veggies have more same amount of vitamin C as the lighter ones.This is useful in our daily lives because if we were to buy veggies we should know that although you are gaining almost the same nutritional value taking the one with more vitamin C is better,because vitamin C is good for you it also protects you from cardiovascular,stroke,and improves your eye health,and keeps your body strong even as you grow older.My hypothesis was wrong,as in the beggining I thought darker ones had more vitamin C.I was proven wrong in my experiment as it turned out lighter green veggies had more vitamin C.To do this experiment all you need is a blender,a stove,light green veggies,dark green veggies,dropper,little tubes,and your iodine indicator.To make your iodine indicator all you need is 1 teaspoon of cornstarch some water,then add a cup of boiled water to the mixture,and finally just put in iodine until it turns a shade of dark purple.Our controlled variable is how much iodine is put in each substance,the amount of pulp used each time,and the amount of cornstarch and water,the independant variable is how much pulp is put in each test tube.The dependant is how many drops of iodine is needed to turn the substance to a dark shade of purple.The results were the same even when I tried different kinds of veggies,which supports the fact that lighter green veggies have more vitamin C.The next time I do this experiment I will have
Directions: Design your own experiment to test some variable of the Diet Coke and Mentos lab. Identify one variable that you will change and test – this will be your Independent Variable.
Are pennies better clean or dirty? Clean, of course. Clean pennies are probably used more than dirty pennies, but maybe just clean all the dirty pennies with the products: orange juice, coca cola, and taco sauce and see which one cleans the pennies the best, so then just use those. If any of these products cleans pennies, then coca cola will clean the pennies the best. For independent variable it was the products and the dependent variable is the clean pennies. The control group is the coca cola and the experimental group is orange juice, coca cola, and the taco sauce. For this experiment there was only a few steps to do in order to have clean pennies. After all the materials are ready then pour the products into cups and put at least two pennies in each product. Once the products are in the cups then set timer for 30 minutes and repeat this step for three trials. Collect the weight of the pennies after 30 minutes each time and write it down to see which of the products took off most of the dirt on the penny. Collect all the other data that is needed. This is just one way that cleans pennies but
Firstly acquire three test tubes. All test tubes will contain gelatin. One of them will contain both pineapple and compound X. Compound X is our independent variable in this experiment. Another will contain just pineapple and gelatin. The last one will contain only gelatin, this test tube will be our control group. The next step is to put all the test tubes in the icebox and wait for the gelatin
In my experiment, there are many different variables that are being altered and controlled. My independent variable is the type of coffee used including, light, medium, and dark roast, decaffeinated, and gluten free. Following that, my dependent variable is the amount of plant growth. The type of seeds, coffee maker, pot and soil will all be controlled throughout the experiment, as well as the location of growth, and the ratio of water to coffee added daily. I hypothesised that the coffee with the highest pH and most caffeine, or light roast, will display the most growth. This is due to the fact that caffeine contains ingredients like potassium and phosphorous, which are known to enhance plant growth. In fact ,”Many consumers assume that the
Vegetables is an important food for the consumption of vitamins. Analyzing the recommended amount that is adequate, it includes vegetable salads of the ones that are more to my liking, to my food plates.
damage to hair. The independent variable would be the different color hair dyes. The dependent
Vegetables have more minerals, vitamins, and even more anti-cancer properties than fruit. The difference between the two food groups is the calorie content. In general, vegetables have fewer calories than fruit.
Controlled: The controlled variables of this practical were the amount of alcohol used and the process of boiling the alcohol.
Since most cooking methods deplete the content of vitamin C, one of the best methods for adding it to one’s diet is to eat citrus fruits raw, or to very lightly cook green vegetables like broccoli. Spinach salad is a tasty way to add more vitamin C to your diet. Vitamin C has recently been added not just to many foods, but also to many cosmetic products, particularly skin creams marketed as “anti-aging.” It is too early to tell if these products are effective, though some users feel they are quite
Can VEGETABLE OIL float on water? I believe that the vegetable oil will be able to float on the water as water is denser than vegetable oil. Independent Variable: Water Dependent Variable: Vegetable Oil Constants: Amounts of each liquid. Number of Trials: Three (3) There are a few things that you will need to accomplish this experiment.
Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green pigment. This is why it is important to put green stuff in your juicing recipes! Remember, the darker green the veggie, the more chlorophyll it has.

Carrots’ general impact is an alkaline one. They are top notch as they can be consumed both forms i.e. cooked and raw. Besides they have eye advantages, carrots likewise have a lot of vitamins, potassium, and fiber, making them an extremely balanced vegetable.
In this experiment I will be finding out which fruit juice contains the most vitamin C. I will be using a method similar to titration but I will be using a syringe instead of a burette.
2014). Spirulina is one of the main sources of natural phycocyanin, which is used as a natural color in food products like chewing gums, candies, dairy products, jellies, ice creams, soft drinks and used as biochemical tracer in immunoassays(Gouveia et al. 2008). ß-carotene represents 70% of total carotenoids present in Spirulina which is equivalent to 53% more retinol equivalent than the amount present in carrots(Dey and Rathod
