Mold's Four Important Elements To Grow
Mold needs four important elements to grow: moist, warmth, air, and darkness. I combined these four elements to conduct this experiment. Five different food sources were selected and incubated for seven days. At the conclusion of the experiment, I was able to view different types of mold, with the naked eye. Then I was able to compare and contrast any differences or similarities that I observe with the mold specimens.
The five food samples selected for task #1 was a slice of white bread, a lemon slice in half, a strawberry, a store bought chocolate cupcake and 3 slices of an orange. Each item was placed in a separate plastic sandwich bag with a moist paper towel. The paper towel was moisten with tap water and excess water was pressed
