The hypothesis is that boiling destroys more vitamin C content than steaming.

You will wash and prepare the carrots, cut them into cubes, rinse them, boil and steam them, and then measure the Vitamin C content.

You will need carrots, a knife, a stainless steel pot, a steaming basket, a stopwatch, water, vacuum packing bags, a vacuum electrical packer, pipettes, a burette, a colander, a beaker, sulfuric acid, starch solution, iodine solution, and a marker.

Our experiment showed that boiling does destroy more vitamin C content than steaming, but the vitamin C content does not steadily decrease. In fact, it increased from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. This information can help us maximize the nutritional benefits of our food.

This science project is interesting because it helps us understand how different cooking methods affect the nutritional content of our food.

Consider experimenting with different types of vegetables, and try different methods of cooking such as deep frying.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
