Before
After
Gross! I definitely learned that I need to throw my produce out before it gets to this point! I made a lot of observations in the course of this project. I discovered that there are a lot of chemical changes that come when a tomato decomposes. One thing that surprised me the most about this project was when the bag began to fill with air. I figured it would rot and mold, and even leak out, but it was interesting to see the bag filling up with air as well. I believe this to be gas released from the chemical reactions of the decomposition on the tomato. After this experiment, I think it would be interesting to add in a variable, like mentioned before, a tomato not in the bag, or possibly organic vs. not. These might be great follow up ideas if a similar experiment was carried out in class.
