+In the second lecture of our 'Diy biolab drivers license' course, students saw live how slime mold transfers nutrients within its body. Firstly the flow goes in one direction, after a while stops and then moves in another direction. Since this is how a slime mold grows and distributes nutrients to every part of its body, I wondered: what if the slime mold were to consume multicolored food—would it change its color as a result? And what if there were several different colors involved? Would distinct color boundaries be visible, or would there be soft transitions? Or would the slime mold simply turn a single, uniform color?

+That's exactly how I started my experiments. For that I needed:

+* slime mold
-[[File:Food paint description (contains sugar).jpg|thumb]]
+* petri dishes

+* oat flakes
-[[File:Camera stand set-up.jpg|thumb]]
+* agar
-[[File:Mother culture in the beginning.jpg|thumb]]
+* food coloring
-[[File:Mother culture started growing.jpg|thumb]]
+* camera
-[[File:Preparing for measurement.jpg|thumb]]
-[[File:Heating agar.jpg|thumb]]
+My final goal is to film the process of growing with camera. With the video/timelapse It will be very clear to see how slime mold changed colors.

+During the first try it was important for me to understand my workflow in the lab and already test my idea practically.
