In our Science lessons this term, we have been learning about classification. Last week were learnt about micro-organisms and how these can be classified into three groups: fungi, prokaryotes and protists.
We knew the most about fungi as we all saw lots of mushrooms growing in the forest in Sayers Croft and we know that yeast is needed in bread to make it rise. But what we don’t know is what are the best conditions for fungi to grow.
We set up an experiment to see what conditions are the best for mould (a type of fungi) to grow on bread. We wanted to test whether it needed heat or the cold, dry or damp, light or dark and air or no air. This meant we’ve had to put 10 pieces of bread around the school to test the different conditions.
Next week, we’ll collect up our bread and see where was best for the mould to grow. Where do you think it will be?
I loved putting the piece of bread in the fridge!!!!!
I really enjoyed this experiment. Science is always so much fun when experiments are being made! I can’t wait to see these results.

We will see which bread will have more mould – I can’t wait to see which one has more!
This experiment was so much fun! Can’t wait to see the results!
I was told to put the bread on the windowsil and to squeeze all of the air out of it. It was very interesting.
I thought this lesson was really fun, I’m so lucky I got to take the photos!
I loved the photos Olivia took, they were very funny.
This was a lot of fun. I can’t wait to see which bread grows the most mould.
It was very cool.
I can’t wait to see how the bread will look after it was left to grow mould for 1 week.
This was so fun. I can’t wait to see what has happened to the bread.
I cant wait to see which one was the mouldiest!
I cant wait to see if the bread is mouldy or not !!
What an amazing experiment! This topic in science is so much fun. Can’t wait to learn more about it.
I found it very interesting to learn about mould and the different places where it grows.
