First, I had to label the plastic bags 1 through 6. Put gloves on and place a fresh apple in bag 1. Next, I had to rub the rotting apple over five other apples. Then, I put one untreated apple in bag 2. After, that I held an apple 1.5 meters above a newspaper on the floor and drop it. I put it in bag 3. Later, I rubbed 1 apple over sandpaper. I put it in bag 4. Afterward, I washed an apple with soap and water. I dried it well. I put it in bag 5. Second to last, I used a cotton ball to spread alcohol over the last apple. I let it air dry. I put it in bag 6. Finally, I sealed all bags and put them in a dark place.
