Biology Mould Experiment

Aim
To view mould under a microscope and identify the structures.

Method
This experiment occurs in two stages:

1. Obtain a piece of bread. Moisten it and leave on a small plate in a warm place for several days, e.g. a hot
   water cupboard.
2. Obtain a binocular microscope (two eye piece) and view the mould that has grown on the bread.
   Accurately draw what you see. Label any parts you can identify.
   

3. Conclusion
   Write a conclusion that describes what you have seen. The description could include a diagram and should have all identified structures correctly labelled.

   Safety
   Correctly dispose of the bread in a safe manner. This experiment assumes students are familiar with the correct usage of binocular microscopes.
