So - variable outline:
- independent: time
- dependent: degree of fungal/mold growth
- controlled: environment, types of organic matter, contaminants
That's basically how its gonna be. My aim will be something like: To identify which organic materials allow the most fungal/mold growth and which environments encourage the most fungal/mold growth. I'll come up with a hypothesis once I've finished my research and can make an informed (cough cough) one.
Right now, based on experience, I think the fruit or maybe the bread will have the most fungus by the end. At first I thought the meat, but then again meat harbours a lot of bacteria, but not necessarily that much fungi, and as we all know bacteria is usually not visible by the naked eye.
I think one week is too short for the experiment, as I don't think enough fungi will form to have conclusve results; while two weeks is too long, it'll become inconvenient. So... I'll make it 10 days? Yes that sounds right. So the entire experiment will go for 20 days, including repeats.

hello subi!!
ReplyDeletegoing well so far...
hope it goes well
goodluck!!
thanks jess!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Maybe consider what you have as independent and dependent a little further. Try to limit the amount of chemicals, and other tests which will void your results.
