We have been very busy scientists undertaking mould growing experiments. Each group set up a fair experiment to test different conditions. We tested temperature, moisture, air and light to observe which samples would grow mould. We used our noticing muscles to observe and record the changes.

| Olivia, Ben and Camden stretching their noticing muscles to examine a bread sample with a magnifying glass. |
 |
| Issy noticing changes in a cheese sample for the light and dark experiment. |
 |
| Scientist Angus stretching his noticing muscles. |
 |
| Emily noticing that the cheese sample absolutely stinks! |
 |
| Gemma recording changes she noticed. We have also been learning how mould is used in food production. We discovered that mould is used in the creation of soy sauce, black tea, blue vein cheese, camembert and brie and salami. We had a mould feast. |
