    This document outlines an investigatory project on how mold grows. The aim is to study mold growth. Various foods will be tested under different conditions to see which grows mold the most and least. Wet foods in sunny places will grow mold the most quickly, while cooked foods in refrigeration will grow mold the slowest. Observation and conclusions will determine which environments and foods promote the greatest and least mold growth.

    Aim:

    To study the gowth


    of mould
    Introduction :
    Mold is a fungus that needs nutrients
    and water to grow.
    Mold can be found indoors and
    outdoors all over the world. Most are
    non-toxic, but they certainly aren't
    good to eat!
    Mold can grow on surfaces like rocks
    and walls, but in homes it commonly
    grows on aging
    food.
    Many foods, especially bread, contain
    mold inhibitors and preservatives to
    prevent mold
    from growing quickly.
    Ojectives:
    Which food will
    grow the most
    mold? The least?
    Why? Which
    environment has
    the greatest mold
    growth?
    Materials required:

    Plastic zip-top bags


    Knife
    Labeling tape and marker
    Two or three types of food
    (such as greens, bread, meat,
    cheese, fruit, etc.)
    Notebook and pen or pencil
    Spray bottle
    Water
    Cooking pan, toaster oven, oven
    or other cooking device.
    Procedure:
    1. Select some different foods to test.
    2. Have an adult help you cut your samples.
    You will need 9 samples for each type of
    food.
    3. Take 3 samples of each type of food and
    cook them. How might this condition affect
    how mold grows on the food?
    4. Place each sample into a plastic zip-top
    bag and seal it. Label each bag appropriately
    with type of food, the conditions, and
    environment.
    5. Take 3 samples of each type of food and
    spray lightly with water. Do you think the
    wet samples will grow mold more quickly or
    slowly? Why?
    . 6. Place each sample into a plastic zip-top bag
    and seal it. Label each bag appropriately with
    type of food, the conditions, and environment
    7. Take the last 3 samples and place
    each sample into a plastic zip-top bag
    and seal it. Label each bag
    appropriately with type of food and
    environment.
    8. Place one cooked, one wet, and one
    dry set of samples for each type of food
    in the refrigerator.
    9. Place one cooked, one wet, and one
    dry set of samples for each type of food
    in a dark place like a cupboard.
    10. Place one cooked, one wet, and one
    dry set of samples for each type of food
    outside in a sunny, warm spot.
    11. Monitor your samples daily and
    make notes on observations. Taking
    pictures is a great way to track changes
    in your samples over time
    Observation:
    Mold will grow best in a
    moist environment. Mold
    should start forming in 2-3
    days, but will take a week
    or more to get a good
    sample. Check on the piece
    of bread every few days,
    and add more water if it is
    becoming dried out. Avoid
    opening the plastic bag as
    much as you can.
    Result:

    Wet samples will grow the


    most mold, while cooked
    samples will grow the
    least mold. Samples left in
    the sun will grow the most
    mold, while refrigerated
    samples will grow the
    least mold.
