Bread Mold: 6th Graders Learn All About It!
Sixth graders did an experiment about growing mold on bread, here's what they found out:

My mold was collected from bread spores from Mrs. Manuel’s room. After a week, this is what it looks like. The one on the right has been in my garage. The one on the left has been in my closet. Now I know a lot about bread mold. I know if you drop some bread, DON’T USE IT!!!!! Mold is easier to grow than you think.

Location one was my kitchen window sill. The bread had little yellow spots, dried out edges, and had no mold.  Location two was my bathroom drawer.  It  had little yellow spots, dried out edges , and had no mold. Mackenzie Hunt

            The first place I put my bread is the kitchen counter. The second place I put my bread was the hallway closet. The first observations was it had yellow spots, and no mold for the first bread. The second observation was it had yellow spots, and no mold  for  the second mold. I learned that different ingredients may cause bread to mold differently.

     I set my 1st piece at a window seal and my 2nd piece in my kitchen cabinet.  I got the spores at the art room. One slice has a little piece of mold.

I put both of my bread slices in the boys’ bathroom and rubbed the bread against the handles. Then I put one of the breads in my closet and put the other one in my window. When I took them out to bring to school I noticed there were white spores on them. Then we all left the bread in the classroom for the weekend. When we came back on Monday to look at them, I saw this hairy black stuff and I felt all weird inside. The one I left in the window was hard, blue, green, little bit of purple, yellow, and black. The one I left in the closet was fuzzy, black, hairy, yellow, white, and hard too.

            In school one of our first few projects was to mold bread. The place I wiped my bread was in Ms. Hosey’s file cabinet. Then I brought my bread home and put one piece of bread on my windowsill and one piece in my closet. I left it there for one week, then brought it back to school on Thursday . When I brought the bread to school there was a swipe of mold on the piece of bread that was in my closet.

 When I did this bread mold I swiped my bread on the gym radio. Then I placed the first piece in a tool storage stool. The second half went in a window sill. It was a white colored mold. It smelled like my feet.

I hid one of my two pieces of bread in the hall closet and one in the windowsill in my room. The observations of my first bread mold were some yellow and no noticeable mold. My observations for the second one were little black specks. I collected my mold spores from the kitchen area in the Imagination Station.
