Mould

Mould is so disgusting but did you know that some mould is good for you?Did you know that blue vein cheese,salami,soy sauce,black tea,bree cheese and caminber are all made out of mold!Mushrooms are also related to mould but they are fungi.We had an experiment to see how much mould will grow on something.My group did cheese and the condition was temperature,Cold,cool and warm.
Here is my writing about how to create a fair test about mould. 



Introduction:

Fantastic furry mould! Have you ever made your own disgusting mould?

Did you know that mould can grow on food, plants, wood, cardboard and material! Also did you know penicillin is an antibiotic made out of mould, so that’s like you are drinking mould, that is so gross.You have to have a fair experiment to make mould. A fair experiment means that one thing changes and you have to have 3 conditions. I am doing temperature which is cold, cool and warm. If you want to make your own revolting mould experiment read on!

Equipment:
If you want to do temperature:
  • 3 pieces of the same food (except for seafood and meat because if you don’t leave it in the fridge you can get really sick.)
  • 3 snap lock bags or containers
  • Shoe box
  • Newspaper
  • Hot water bottle
  • Fridge
  • Hot water
  • Some light(Of course from a window)
  • Labels
  • Permanent marker
  • A cool place
  • Sellotape

How to make your fair experiment and we are doing cheese
1:Get your 3 plastic bags or containers and 3 labels
2:Write on one of the labels:Cold,cheese and the date
3:Get your bag or lid of container and place the label on it
4:Get another label and write:Cool,cheese and the date
5:Get your bag or lid of container and place the label on it
6:Get your third label and write:Warm,cheese and the date
7:Get your bag or lid of container and place the label on it
8:Put all the air out of the bags if you are doing a bag
9:Place a piece of cheese in each of the bags or container
10:If you are doing a bag zip it up or if you are doing a container place your lid on the container
11:Now get your shoe box and some newspaper and place some newspaper in the bottom of the shoe box.
12:Place your warm cheese in the shoe box with some hot water bottles on the top and the bottom,put your cool cheese in a space with a little bit of light and the cold cheese in a fridge
13:NOW WAIT AND WATCH YOUR MOULD GROW!!!!
