Does bread decay quicker in sunlight or in artificial light? By Taneeka
Hypothesis: I think that
the bread will decay
quicker in sunlight .
Procedure: I will buy a
packet of bread from the
supermarket. I will place
eight pieces of bread in
separate containers. I will
place four of the contain-
ers in sunlight during the
day, and the other four in
a room with artificial light
during the day. I'll leave
them for at most, two
weeks, and wait for the
first sign of decaying. To
measure which one de-
cays more faster/ grows
mold quicker I will ob-
serve and check on the
bread every day at 3pm in
the afternoon. I will write
down my observations on
a results table.
