Mold grows more quickly with sugar water. The document outlines an experiment to test how quickly mold grows on bread when wet with water versus sugar water. Two slices of bread were placed in separate plastic bags, one wet with water and one with sugar water. Over two weeks the bags were checked in science class. As hypothesized, more mold grew on the slice with sugar water, showing that mold grows more quickly when sugar is present. The experiment was deemed a success in showing how mold grows.
