Are there differences between goat cheese and cow cheese?
Yes there are. Each mammal produces a milk that is unique to their species. This means that each type of milk will have a different pH value, a different population of bacteria and different protein and fat ratios. Where do students get mold from for their cheese experiment? Mold will naturally grow on cheese if it is left out. However, students can culture mold from samples taken from surfaces or they can purchase cultures of specific strains of mold from a science store. How do students measure mold growth on cheese? Students will need to conduct a visual examination of their cheese samples. They will need to use students’ microscopes to accurately measure the growth rate of the mold. Are mold science fair projects safe? Generally they are. However, to protect students from possible mold hazards they need to wear gloves, goggles and a face mask when working with the mold samples. What visual elements should a cheese project have? Students can take pictures of their cheese experiment
