My project is about What type of food grows mold faster?. I had 4 types of food (bread, cheese, meat and fruit) and had moist groups and dry groups of each type of food. Also I had samples of each food in 3 different locations in the house. I chose this project because I was curious to see where and in what foods mold grows faster. My result was that cheese and fruit (both dry and moist) were the first ones to get mold. Bread only grew mold on trial 2 and 3. The beef never grew mold but instead it decomposed. My project is important because it helps people to know what foods to consume first to avoid spoilage.

That was very wise of you to stop the experiment when you found it posed a health risk to your family. It showed compassion for your subjects, a sign of a true researcher.
