Questions<br />

1. What is measured when looking at the net change in displacement of the potato samples?<br />

2. Different types of potatoes have varying natural sugar concentrations. Explain how this<br />

may influence the experiment.<br />

3. Based on the data from this experiment, hypothesize which potato has the highest natural<br />

sugar concentration. Explain your reasoning.<br />

4. What was the texture and your observation of the potato samples prior to the experiment?<br />

After? Did it vary by type of potato?<br />
