Description
In this experiment, students discover in which environmental conditions bread molds are grown. The experiment is a controlled experiment. When the effect of one variable on conduction is explored, the other variables are kept constant. In part one, molds are defined using animation. In part two, students are asked to observe the effect of temperature, moisture and light on growth of molds. The students put a slice of bread on mold maker and change the temperature of the environment. The students repeat observations with different temperatures and compare them with the control group. Then the students change the moisture and the light of the environment and make observations to see the effect of them. The data from the students’ actions and the conclusions drawn from this data are presented in the form of a report. After completion of the observations, the effects of environmental factors on molds are demonstrated through animation.
