THE END

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN LEARNING ABOUT THE MOULD PROCESS AND FOOD HYGINE WITH MISS TARGETT AND MISS KOMEN!!!

What we can do:

To promote food hygine we could do a number of things, such as:

• Tell John Key and he could tell the rest of New Zealand.
• Tell Bob Parker and he could tell everyone in Christchurch.
• Make a fridge magnet.
• Make a poster.
• Put it on the radio.
• Put in on TV as an Ad.

We have decided to make a fridge magnet. This way when you open the fridge you will be reminded to keep your food and bread in the fridge and NOT in the sun.

Our Results:

From our mould experiment we have found that if you keep bread in the fridge it will not grow mould over two weeks.
We also found out that if you keep bread in a plastic container or a plastic bag and leave it in the sun, window, shade, cupboard or up high, it will grow mould over two weeks.
If you keep bread in newspaper or tinfoil for two weeks, it will go crusty and hard like toast.

We need to do something about this!! BUT WHAT CAN WE DO?

Our predictions:

Most students in Room 5 predict that mould will grow the fastest on the bread if it is kept in the sun or in the cupboard. the also predict that if the bread is wrapped in gladwrap that it will grow the fastest.

Most students in Room 5 predict that the bread kept in either the fridge or in the shade and that is either in a bag or a container will grow mould the slowest.

We are all so excited to see whats going to happen!!

The Mould Process

Stage 1: Spore are all around us, even in the air we breathe.

Stage 2: spores land on living organisms

stage  3: the spores begin to fead off the organisms taking all the nutrients from it. mould is beginning to appear. 

Stage 4: the organism starts to decompose and mould appears.
