SCIENCE!

Elissa:
This term room 2 has been doing lots of science experiments. including a yeast experiment, a potato growing experiment, growing mould experiment and we also learnt about MRS GREN. Mrs Gren is an acrostic poem that stands for:
Movement
Reproduction
Sensitivity
Growth
Respiration
Excretion
Nutrition
This means that for something to be alive it has to have all of these characteristics.

Sydney-May:
in Rm 2 we are doing science. Our experiment is about mouldy bread, and we have found out that damp seedy bread moulds faster than, damp white seedy bread, also seedy and white bread that is dry. We also found out that yeast can blow up a balloon with water.Science is really fun.
This was what we predicted:

Predictions – HYPOTHESIS

Which will go mouldy first:

Plain seedy                         : 3 people out of 27

Plain white                         : 5/27

Damp seedy                       : 13/27

Damp white                       : 6/27

Most people in room 2 think that the damp, seedy bread will become mouldy first. This might be because it has seeds to help the mould grow, as well as water. This might also be because of chemicals in the water. It might grow faster also because mould likes the damp.

The water might make the seeds fresher which might stop the mould.

There are lots of chemicals in white bread so maybe this will make it grow faster.

Maybe the bleached flour will make a difference (make it grow faster).

This is how they look now (10 days after we hung them up): 

Nick:

YAY! MOULD! I don`t like it. Its gross, but sadly we are doing an experiment on it to see what type of bread will go mouldy first. The breads we are testing are plain white (White bread), Plain seedy (Wholegrain), Damp white (White bread with water), Damp seedy (Wholegrain with water).
