All About Me!

Hello! My name is Victoria Merlavska and I am in 8th grade. A few of of my hobbies are playing volleyball, tennis, and iceskating. Ironically, one of favorite fruits are bananas. For my project, I experimented the affect on bananas on the ripening on other fruits/preservation techniques. I really enjoyed this project and recommend others to try it as well!
