Equipment & Method Here is a list of equipment we used in our experiment: * Cork Borer * Delivery Tube * Bung * Scalpel * Measuring Cylinder * Hydrogen Peroxide * Beaker * Test Tubes * Cutting Mat * Stop Watch Diagram Method 1. Set up the experiment as shown in diagram above. 2. Put 20cm3 of hydrogen peroxide in to a test tube. 3. Place a 3cm piece of potato into the test tube, mixed in with the hydrogen peroxide. 4. Place a bung into the test tube. 5. Start the stop watch. 6. Time for 3 minutes. 7. Record you results, volume of oxygen produced. 8. Change the surface area of the potato (number of cuts) 9. Repeat steps 1-6 *note when you cut the potato cut into 3 pieces 3cm3. Prediction & Reasoning Prediction As we make more cuts in the potato we have more enzymes being released and more oxygen will be released. Reasoning The reasoning for my prediction is that more oxygen will be released due to the...
