• Observe the mould for a few more days.

Pupils whose bread has mould...

• You may discard the bread properly if you've observed enough.
• You may observe the bread for more patches of mould. (esp. different colours and sizes)

Pupils' Observations on Toasted Bread 

• Some pupils observed a little mould growing. Why? Is there a little presence of water in the toasted bread? Is the water fully removed after toasting?

Pg 14 Corrections
Complete the corrections on your own.

Common Mistake - Pupils stated the similarity and difference as given in the question.
However, the question is asking for "another similarity/difference". You will need to think of a similarity or difference not mentioned in the question.

E.g. Bears flowers? Flowering Plant? Reproduce by seed / spores?

• Duration of experiment: 5 days

For pupils who do not have a toaster at home: (You will do the toasted bread observations next Tuesday after your classmates bring along their set-ups and share with the class.)
