 * Title: what's the best condition to grow the mold?**


 * Introduction**: Goals-to know the best conditions to grow the mold


 * Expectation**: wet and the condition of plentiful oxygen will be the best condition to grow the mold.

independent**: amout of water and the quality of oxygen that the rice gets
 * Variable:
 * dependent** : the amount of molds(bacterias)

1. rice 50g 2. water spray 3. eight petri-dishes 4. black clothes 5. oxygen 6. place where is dark 7. place where gets sunlight 8. labels that can indicate each condition of patridish
 * Materials**:

if they are dried and has the lack of oxygen, the mold will appear slowly.
 * Expectations**: i would expect that the mold will grow well when it has wet and plentiful oxygen.

1. Prepare rice that has been just cooked.
 * Procedures:**

2. Divide them into eight petri-dishes.( Each petri-dish should contain equal amount.)

3. Each petri-dish has different conditions: wet, covered, uncovered, dark, bright, dried a) covered+wet+bright b) covered+dried+bright c) covered+wet+dark d) covered+dried+dark e) uncovered+wet+bright f) uncovered+ dried+bright g) uncovered+wet+dark h) uncovered+drie+dark For wet condition, you should use water spray to make it wet. For dark condition, you should place the petri-dish where doesn't get any sunlights and cover it with black cloth. For bright condition, you should place the petri-dish where gets most sunlights such as windows.

4. Place petri-dish a, b, e, f where gets most sunlight.( I placed near a window.)

5. Place petri-dish c, d, g, h where is totally dark. ( I placed in the cabinet and covered with black cloth.)

6. You should provide water once a day for wet conditioned petri-dish.

7. Check everyday how rice changes.

(not done with the experiment)
 * Details**

1. bacteria: domain of unicellular prokaryotes that have cell walls containing pepitoglycan.
 * Appendix 1**

2. prokaryote: unicellular organism lacking a nuclues

3. gametangia: gamete-producing structure found in mold

4. zygomycetes: mold that have life cycles that include a zygospore which is a resting spore that contains zygotes formed during the sexual phase of the mold's life cycle.

5. saprobes: organisms that obtain food from decaying organic matter

Appendix 2 Big Ideas... 1. There are various methods used to control bacterial growth, including sterilization, disinfectants, and food processing. 2. http://www.miniscience.com/projects/MoldExperiment/index.html the link that show such mold experiment that i did in the science class. http://www.kidzone.ws/science/mold.htm
