Premises: 1. All living organisms consist mostly of water.  2. The adult human body is about 60% water.   3. As much as 95% of the weight of some plants is due to the amount of water they contain. Experimental Question: Which organic material has the greatest percentage of water: grass, grapes, or carrot? State Your Hypothesis: Materials Needed balance or digital scale grass clippings or leaves, grapes, carrot newspaper for drying plants Collecting Data 1. Weigh a handful of grass clippings then set them on a newspaper.  2. Weigh four grapes, then cut them in half and place on newspaper to dry.   3. Weigh a single carrot then cut into strips and set out to dry.  4. Weigh all the materials after they have dried overnight.
