Problem:
Which type of food
molds the fastest in the same place: bananas, milk, bread
or cheese?
|
|
Research:
Mostly all foods need to be refrigerated in order to stay
in eating condition. Some foods don't need to be but most
especially dairy products do. The only problem is what
foods mold faster and how fast do they go bad.

Material:
1. banana
2. cheese
3. bread
4. Milk
5. a cabinet to put the samples in
|
|
Procedure:
First take all your samples and make sure they are not
molded yet and that they are still fresh. Pour the milk in
a glass and place it in the cabinet that you have chosen
to use for your experiment. Next take the banana cheese
and bread and place them in all separate dishes. Then put
them in the same cabinet. It is important for them to all
be in the same place for more accurate results because of
the temperature of the area. Wait 4-5 days and check your
samples and record your results in a table below.

Record And Analyze Data:
After a week we looked at all our results. It turned out
that the milk molded the most. It started to show signs of
mold in three days. The cheese and bread both showed signs
of mold on the 4th day and the banana which showed signs
of mold the least stayed fresh till about the 6th day.
