A student investigated the effect of temperature on the time taken for different types of
box
milk to decay.
This is the method used.
1. Put cows’ milk in six test tubes.
2. Keep each test tube at a different temperature.
3. Measure the pH of the milk in each tube every day for 12 days.
4. Record the number of days taken to reach pH 5.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 with goats’ milk and with almond milk.
