Hauroa - Taha Tinana Experiment!

Planning:

Aim:

I want to find out: 

How can I make bread fresher for longer?

Equipment:

- 1 piece of white and brown bread
- 2 trays
- 2 plates
- Foil
- Water
- Honey
- Salt and Pepper
- Safety Glasses
- Gloves
- Tongs

Method:

1. Get both of the trays.
2. Fill them with cold water half way.
3. Now start poring the honey all over the brown bread.
4. Then put the salt and pepper all over the white bread.
5. Cover both of the bread's with foil.
6. Put both of the bread's in to the water.
7. Leave them there for a week.
8. Take a look at it and make sure there are no mould on both of the bread's.
9. Roll up your sleeves.
10. Put on your safety glasses.
11. Put on some gloves.
12. Get a pair of tongs.
13. Pick up both of the bread's with the tongs.
14. Put them on 2 separate plates.
15. Take off the foil.
16. If they're are still no mould on it then you have improved.
17. And that is the end of our experiment.

After A Day:

After A Week!

If you touch these 2 breads, the white bread feels bouncy and the brown bread feels soft. They both look the same except that the salt and pepper has faded away from the white bread, and the honey from the brown bread has faded away as well.

Conclusion: 

I found out that mould doesn't grow on bread as long as it is in water.

Discussion:

Why did we cover the bread with foil?

Because putting bread in the water over a week will easily grow mould on it so, if the bread was covered with foil in the water then there would be no oxygen for the bacteria to grow mould on the bread.
