After experimenting with different fruits my results show that the apple lost the most water. After I recorded the results I believed they were not as accurate as they could have been because of certain variables. These variables include.

1.) Cutting pieces into equal sizes 2.) The pineapple pieces only partially covered by skin

I think this practical experiment (drying fruit) is better for finding which fruit loses water faster and
