Year 6 science experiment – mouldy bread!

The last 2 weeks in year 6, we have been doing a very exciting science experiment. This experiment was to test how mouldy bread would get if we changed something about it. The two things we could choose do were: damp bread, and normal bread OR bread in darkness and bread in light. some groups bread got very mouldy, for example team G’s bread was covered in teal mould after we put a bit of water on it. Our groups bread – group E – only got 2 spots of mould, only on the damp piece. The normal piece just got a bit hard. We have really enjoyed checking how much the bread changed each day. we did this for about 6 days and most of the groups bread got at least 2 spots of mould on them. Our class really enjoyed this experiment and checking how it changed every day.
