Caution: Molds should be handled carefully. Do notopen the zip-locking plastic bag, and do not removethe mold samples from the zip-locking plastic bags.The spores, which is how mold is dispersed, mayspread throughout the classroom and could causeallergic reactions.Discussion1. Which bread type(s) exhibited more mold growth overa long period of time?2. On which bread type did mold first appear?3. Were there any breads that had no mold growth?Why?4. What was the difference between the tortilla and thebread as far as mold growth?5. Molds vary in color and appearance. Many are whiteand resemble cotton while others are green, brown,black, pink, or gray. While some molds will grow on awide variety of foods, others grow best on fresh fruitsor vegetables. Describe the mold(s) that appeared onthe bread products.ExtensionsRepeat the experiment, and change the variables.1. Place some bread samples in the dark, and exposeother identical pieces in the light.2. Place some bread samples in a cool place (refrigerator),and expose other identical samples in a warmplace.3. Repeat the experiment with other types of major foodgroups that have flown in space. The Space Shuttlefresh food locker contains crew-determined fooditems such as oranges, apples, carrots, and celerysticks. Try a fresh fruit such as an orange or apple, afresh vegetable such as a carrot or celery stick, and amilk group item such as a natural cheese.4. Observe which colors of molds grow on a variety offoods and which mold colors are more specific to acertain food group.5. Compare the space flight shelf stable tortilla formulation(listed in Appendix F) with the ingredients listedon a grocery store tortilla package wrapper or in a tortillarecipe you find in a cookbook for an Earth-basedtortilla.AssessmentConduct a classroom discussion about the findings, andcollect the completed Student Data Sheets. Have the studentsgraph their data.26 • Space Food and Nutrition An Educator’s Guide With Activities in Science and Mathematics, EG-1999-02-115-HQ
