Mouldy Bread Experiment

LO: To find out about mould and what condition mould grows in.


  1. We took a piece of bread.
  2. We gave the bread a condition eg. Whiteboard,Eczema,Doormat.
  3. We added moist paper towel and sealed in a bag.
My hypothesis was:
Whiteboard: Dust and maybe even nothing except a bit of mould, this was the result

Eczema: Maybe different type of mould colours,this was the result
Doormat: It's maybe going to have hair on it,this was the final result
