Raw steak
Flavour's
Salt
String
Knife
Container

Method:

      3.Slice your meat in thin strips 1/20 thick
      4.Marinate the meat with your own spice or flavours you can               use sugar,cinnamon,pepper,chilli,soy sauce we put flavour's

The biltong (beef jerky) taste salty  but good and it smells like salt not beef and it's hard for the jaw to chew.
why salt because it kills the bacteria that grows on the food

Mouldy bread

L.O: to find out about mould and what conditions mould grow in

1. We took a piece of bread

2. We gave the bread a "condition" eg spit added,rubbed  on board  
etc.

3. We added a moist paper towel and sealed in a bag.

My hypothesis was:the bread will get mouldy and the bread will look disgusting.

Actual:



What is mould? Mould spores range from three to 40 microns in size. Mould that is visible to the naked eye is actually a single organism that has grown from a spore.
