Moldy Bread Monday!

Hello! Happy Monday!

In Science, we have started learning about the 6 kingdoms (règnes) of living things. Today's lesson was about Kingdom Fungi (Mycète) and we learned that this kingdom includes living things such as mushrooms, yeast, penicillium and mold.

In keeping with the Fungi theme, we also started an experiment today.

We learned that mold prefers humid environments, so we're putting it to the test!

Using two different types of bread (100% whole wheat and rye) we aim to see if the 'humid bread' (bread with 1 tbsp of water added) will grow mold faster than dry bread.

We will check the bread each day for the next 10 days and will be diagramming our observations throughout.

Stay tuned for more moldy bread news!
