Ryder Turnbull Bread Mold Lab Ryder Turnbull Professor Austin November 2nd, 2023
Ryder Turnbull Purpose, Question, or Problem: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the growth of mold on preservative-free bread and how environmental conditions, including light and temperature, affect its development. Specifically, we aim to determine whether the rate of mold growth differs when bread is exposed to different conditions. Hypothesis: If the bread is exposed to various environmental conditions, such as warmth, light, and darkness, then the rate of mold growth will vary. I hypothesize that the bread placed in a warm location will exhibit the most mold growth, followed by the bread in a well-lit area, and the least mold growth will be observed in the dark. Materials: 1. 3 slices of preservative-free bread 2. Damp paper towels (3) 3. Ziploc bags (3) 4. Tape 5. Warm location (Window sill) 6. Well-lit room location (kitchen) 7. Dark room location (cabinet in kitchen) 8. Phone for photos 9. Marker for labeling 10. A notebook for recording observations Below are the summarized observations of mold growth on the bread slices during the 14-day experiment. The percentage of mold growth is estimated visually Day Warm Location Well-lit Location Dark Location 1 5% 3% 1% 7 30% 20% 10% 14 85% 65% 25% In this experiment, we investigated the growth of mold on bread under different conditions. My hypothesis was partially correct.
