Years F/1

F/1 Science News

At the end of last term, we were learning about mould during our Science Unit on Biology. We started trying to grow some mould during the second last week of Term 1. We had three pieces of bread. The first was untouched. The second was touched by all of us. The third was damp. We had a little bit of mould growing on 2 of our bread samples on the last day of Term and the F/1 students thought it would be a GREAT idea to leave the bread in a dark, warm spot over the holidays.... 

...And when we returned, those two pieces of bread were absolutely DISGUSTING! The bread that was untouched still had no mould but appeared to be very stale. We found it really interesting that the damp bread had a really black mouldy spot where we wet it, where as the bread that we all touched, had a brown, furry type of mould growing all over! It was cool to see the two different types of mould. 

The F/1 students have described the bread for you to visualise at home.

"My favourite is the one with the black mould bread because it looks disgusting and I don't like the black mould bit. On the other side it still looks yum" - Billie

"They look really disgusting and really brown and black." - Aria

"The black mould is super, super yucky." - Rocco

"I think the black one looks so disgusting." - Jaxon

"They are both gross because imagine if someone ate them" - Hunter

"Both of the pieces of bread look disgusting but the one we touched is more disgusting because the whole piece of bread is covered in mould" - Sienna

"It is really yucky and we left it for the whole holidays and it looks so yuck. The clean one has no mould though" - Ivy

"The one we touched is greenish and yellowish and it has so much mould on it that I can't even see the bread." - Evie

"The touched bread looks fury and disgusting. I hate the mould" - Edith
