2. Scientific Question
Which fruit is the most durable?

3. What I am testing and why
In my project I am testing which one of my fruits are the most durable. I am also testing how high do I have to drop them to break them. I chose to do this because, I thought it would be a cool thing to look back on when I am older, also I really hate fruit.

4. Hypothesis
If I drop a lemon, apple, kiwi, and a pear then the lemon will be the most durable.

6. Procedures 1. Buy fruits 2. Drop fruits from certain heights
3. Record results
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each drop

7. Conclusion
My question was which fruit would be the most durable. Out of all of my fruits the lemon was the most durable. It didn’t break in any of the drops like the other fruits. All of the other fruits either got a bruise or cut open a little. My data supports my hypothesis, because the lemon took the least amount of damage.

8. Conclusion 2
I learned that out of an apple, a pear, a kiwi, and a lemon, a lemon is the most durable. If I could have done something different, I would have dropped them from a higher place. Other than that no problems occurred.
