An apple in the breadbox or cookie jar will affect our bread or cake!
Things Required:
2 cookie jars or tins
1 slice of bread
2 slices of apple
1 slice of cake (or a cookie)
Directions:
Place one slice of an apple in a cookie jar with the slice of bread. Place the other in the cookie jar with the slice of cake. Don’t open the jars for a day or so.
This Is What Happens:
The bread gets stale-and the cake stays moist!
Science Behind It:
Sugar dissolves in water. It will absorb water from the atmosphere, if given the chance.
The more sugary food draws water molecules from the other food. The apple has more sugar than the bread, so the bread loses water to the apple. But the cake has more sugar than the apple, so the apple loses water to the cake.
