Will a shake a day keep the spoiling away?

My project is about whether shaking different types of milk will prolong the lifespan of the milk. I chose this project because I noticed that if I left milk along and not consistently pouring from it, it would spoil faster than if I consistently used it. My results were inconclusive. Two out of the three milk types lasted longer with shaking. I need to run more tests. My project is important because it could make a new way to preserve milk. Keywords: milk, shaking, preservation

  1. Interesting and well-thought out project! You did a great job ensuring that your variables were clearly defined and explained your procedures well. I appreciated you not just having the data table, but presenting the data in graph form while adding in the expiration date of the containers for context. I’m interested in seeing you continue this experiment as you also had strong ideas on how you could improve the experiment. Nice job!

  2. Nice start to a project! I’m happy that you were able to say, “My results were inconclusive.” Sometimes that happens and further research is needed, so it’s not a bad thing 🙂

  3. Your scientific method was really good! You did a great job and your project was easy to follow. From your data to the pH calibration was impressive!
