Should look juicy!]]> 2020-11-05 12:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893733962 Mrs. Evangelista jevangelista22_1 https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893744023 I made the basic mold terrarium, so I cannot answer questions #1 or #2. However I can answer #3! I think the strawberries decomposed fastest because they were the oldest food item. Also, I think the bread decomposed the slowest because it was stale, which means it had less water than the strawberries or the cheese. Mold needs water to survive!]]> 2020-11-05 12:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893744023 Ariana https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893784809 1. I guessed that if I put my terrarium in a cold place, it would barely grow mold.
2. My hypothesis was correct, because no mold grew at all!
3. I think the fact that no mold grew is because of the cold. I know, because I accidentally made a basic terrarium as well, and besides the cold, I put the same amount of water on them, and slices from the same fruits, so the only thing that could have caused no mold to grow is the cold, and I also know that mold grows better in warmth.]]> 2020-11-05 13:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893784809 Aiden 28azhao1_1 https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893785189 I made a hypothesis that the mold terrarium would completely take the fruit and the bread. My hypothesis was correct because the mold completely overtook the bread and fruit. My variable that I added
was way more water added and that effected the mold by having the mo0]]> 2020-11-05 13:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893785189 Minnie 28mhillam1_1 https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893786589 1. I guess I thought that probably it would grow slower since my thing was 'no water' so it would grow slower. That's it.

2. So yes, my hypothesis was accurate. Since I didn't put water, they only had mold like 6 days in.

3. The bread decomposed the most after a long period of time (see the photo) and the nuts, along with the pretzels didn't really decompose at all, only a little.

I thought the bread would be the first to be covered with mold
2. No my hypothesis was not accurate. In my terrarium, the blackberry was first and in the other terrarium it was the strawberry covered first. I think mine grew slower because it was in a hot environment and bacteria collects on the coldest surfaces.]]> 2020-11-05 13:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893805540 braylon https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893841298 1 I thought that the tomato would mold faster because they easily catch mold

2 The tomato did not mold at all it stayed normal

3 The one that molded the most was the apple i was shocked it had a ton of mold and probably on like the third day it was already moldy]]> 2020-11-05 13:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893841298 Aine https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893845794 1. I thought that it would grow mold faster.
2. My hypothesis was incorrect, it grew slower, and took quite a few days to see hints of mold.
3. I think maybe it didn't grow as fast because of where I put it, (in the basement). I think this because normally we keep the food upstairs (I took food from upstairs) so that might've caused it.]]> 2020-11-05 13:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893845794 Umaima https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893848589 thought that the mold wouldn't grow bt it did a lot.]]> 2020-11-05 13:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893848589 Kavya https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893879848 1. I thought that the mold would grow slower, because I put salt on it as my condition
2. My hypothesis was incorrect the mold on my terrarium grew really fast, faster than the basic terrarium.
3. I have no idea what happened, because I put salt on mine but it grew really fast! It may have been that the food in my terrarium was already, like 2 or 3 days old.]]> 2020-11-05 13:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893879848 Julianna https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893882002 1. I thought that my mold terrarium would grow faster than I expected

2. My mold was not growing that fast as I predicted and not any mold formed for the fist couple of days

3. I put salt on mine and I was so confused because no mold grew on salt mold terrarium ]]> 2020-11-05 13:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893882002 Toby https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893883798 I thought that my mold would decompose the food turning it into dirt-like nutrients.

My food started to turn dead-black and cover my foods in 12 days.

And finally, I think that my mold grew faster because, I gave it sunlight from, time to time. And I gave it plenty of water and a nice environment.]]> 2020-11-05 13:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893883798 Wyatt https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893884421 I though that the bread would become moldy faster but the blue berrys did suprisingle ]]> 2020-11-05 13:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893884421 Shrey https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893886037 1.I thought that my mold terrarium would go fast because I put it in a moist room.

2. I was correct because my mold grew way faster.

3. I think my mold grew faster because I put it in a very damp and moist room.]]> 2020-11-05 13:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893886037 Lillian https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893886271 1. I thought that it would grow slower because I did vinegar and I know that vinegar stops mold.
2. I was right the vinegar did slow down the mold I made a basic one too so that I could see them next to each other compared to the basic one it grew a lot less. On the basic one the oranges even turned green there was not any mold on they outside it just changed to green.]]> 2020-11-05 13:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893886271 Kasey https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893888979 1. i thought it would grow faster.
2.no actually i did two, one with lemon juice and another with no condition. the one with the condition (lemon juice) did not have has much mold as the one with the condition.
3. i actually think that adding the lemon juice caused it to grow slower, think it was holding in the 'soggy-ness' and kept it 'alive-ish'.
On the cheese there was puffy-fuzzy mold.]]> 2020-11-05 13:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893888979 Madi https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893889184 1. I thought that my mold would grow slower because I used soda instead of water and mold needs water

2. My hypothesis was correct, I thought my mold terrarium would grow slower than the basic one because I didn't use water and mold needs water to grow faster

3. I think the the mold grew slower because of the soda. I think that since soda is not water it would take more time to grow ]]> 2020-11-05 13:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893889184 Georgia https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893890484 I thought that fuzzy white mold would grow on the apple slice, however, it was mostly just black, spreading over the slice. I also thought that the sugar would make the moss grow slower.

My hypothesis was slightly correct, because mold didn't grow a lot, maybe because of the sugar?

I think the sugar might've acted as a protective layer for the mold, causing it to grow slower.]]> 2020-11-05 13:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893890484 Elathi https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893923439 1. I thought my mold terrarium would grow faster since I put it in the sunlight .

2. I was correct because the mold started to grow everyday.

3.I think the mold grew faster because it was near the sunlight.]]> 2020-11-05 13:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893923439 Lucas https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893994422 1. I thought my mold terrarium was not going to grow mold because I forgot to dip it in water and because it was outside and it was cold.
2. My hypothesis was not accurate because almost everything did grow mold
3. I think it grew slower at the start because it was in the cold and you normally you put stuff in the fridge to stop it from molding but one day was warm and it started to grow a bunch. I also think that the brie cheese was fast to grow mold because the rind of brie is actually mold to begin with.]]> 2020-11-05 14:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/893994422 Keshav https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/894040034 1. I thought my mold terrarium would not get mold because I added salt
2. I was correct because my mold terrarium did not grow any mold the whole week
3. But then during the next week the mold grew because the salt wore of as you can see in this photo

2. It worked! Sugar is just as affective.

2 Sadly though after just a few days the bread started to mold
3 But the freezer did slow down the mold from growing ]]> 2020-11-05 14:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jevangelista22_1/l4iqiycrernujzrg/wish/894245560
