Science Fair Food Projects aE

Why we love all science fair projects food so much? I think it is because they are so spectacular and we can see the results very clearly. What I think is important, is to look in a different way. The bread mold can be seen from two sides. One way of looking at it is the growth of mold, ie growth. On the other hand, look at it from the side rot, mold, as part of putrefaction. I believe that the bread mold, which mold grows, the most famous, but now I look at it from decay side and see mold as part of the decomposition process. What is the role of mold in the process of decay and how decay can be stopped or slowed. So the first what is decay? What role does decay in the wild? What are the conditions for rot? How can decay be slower? Good food, good science project, we must always begin with a hypothesis, which says what we want to prove and what we think the outcome will be. It is not important if your hypothesis is proven right or wrong, as long as you follow good scientific methods and keep track of everything you do. This is why you need to make careful notes of all your steps, and preferably also take pictures of each step and the final result. So in our experiment is now: What you need for your experiment: three slices of bread three plastic bags in connection Any kind of antiseptic cream three tags a pen, a knife, rubber gloves, a note book, a camera How this project, remember to make notes of each step of the experiment when you leave. Take pictures of all your steps and remember to do that with each step as you go until you get your final score. Begin by explaining what the decay is. The decomposition is the process where bacteria and fungi, known as mold, breaks down organic matter such as dead plants or animals. Now to explain what they need to grow and it will be your hypothesis, because this is the first part of what we will try to prove by our experiments. Now explain how decay can be slowed, and how to prove it with this experiment. Remember to wear your rubber gloves throughout the experiment that you can be allergic to mold that grows on bread. Place a piece of ordinary bread in the plastic bag, close it with a tie and then select the “A” with one of the tags. This becomes your control. (What’s a control in a scientific experiment?) Slowly toast another toast until it is completely dry and crisp, and when it is cold, place it and a plastic bag, seal it with the tie and label the bag “B” with another tag. Take your last slice of bread and cover one side with antiseptic cream. Place this slice of bread in your last plastic bag, close it with a tie and select the “C” Place all three bags in a warm place and check them every day. Remember that bacteria and fungi, known as molds, are everywhere and you want to find out what they do inside your bags. Keep this up for a few days to record what you see every day. What are your results? The bowl is dry so there is no moisture for mold and bacteria grow on, so it should have very little, if any, mold on it. Regarding the portion of bread covered with antiseptic cream have been killed bacteria and once again there should be no mold on it, or at least very little. Take a look at ordinary bread. The regular slice of bread had plenty of moisture for mold to grow on and it should be covered by mold. Now you can reach your conclusion, this is where you tell me what happened and what it shows. Throw the bread in plastic bags, do not open them to prevent you from moving the form and get sick of it. This is one of our delicious food science project where we explain how decay can be prevented as opposed to being what mold needs to grow as in the usual “Bread Mold” project.
