Is bacteria found where you least expect it.

# data[].attributes.body
Bacteria is found in unexpected places.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Agar
2. cotton swabs
3. petri dish
4. gloves

# data[].attributes.body
1. First we will gather our materials. 2. Then we will clean the petri dish and put on our gloves
3. Then we will pour the agar into the petri dishes
4. Then we will wait for the agar to harden
5. Then we will collect bacteria from different places by swiping the cotton swabs across a surface
6. Then we will label and seal the petri dish
7. We will place the petri dishes in a warm, dark place
8. After a couple of days, we will record data
9. Then we will pour bleach into the petri dish to kill the bacteria when we are done (while wearing gloves and goggles)

Collecting Bacteria for Science Symposium (2-9-18)

# data[].attributes.body
For Science Symposium Jocelyn and I are collecting bacteria by using agar, cotton swabs, circular containers, and gloves. Our essential question is where is bacteria found where you least except it.  It takes 4-6 days for the bacteria to grow in the petri dish. In order for the bacteria to grow the temp needs to be 70 to 98 degrees F.

# data[].attributes.body
Controls- what dish we use, what cotton swab we use, the amount of test we run
independent variable- the areas we are collecting bacteria from.
dependent variable- whether or not there is bacteria growing.

# data[].attributes.body
We are done with the research and we will be ready to start the experiment the next time we do science symposium in class.

# data[].attributes.body
Where should we collect data around the school?
-Bathrooms
-Water fountian
-Computers
-Door knobs
-Counters
-Cafeteria
-Remote
-phone
-lockers
-Art materials

DAY ONE: nothing
Check #1: (4-30-18)- few white spots
Check #2: (5-2-18)- spots have grown bigger and has spread
Check #3: (5-4-18)- white spots have grown bigger
Check #4: (5-7-18)- spots have changed to a brown color
Check #5: (5-9-18)- spots have grown

Today we finally started our experiment. We went around the school collecting bacteria and then put it one the agar plates.

Bacteria is formed to a certain size before it reproduces. When it reproduces, it doubles the size. Bacterial populations can double as quickly as every 9.8 minutes. People talk about the "Five Second Rule." But that only applies to dry foods such as cookies, crackers, chips, and rice cakes. Foods that would not work are foods that contain a more moist texture such as cupcakes, Ice cream, jolly ranchers, and vegetables. The reason for this is because bacteria tends to stick onto moist foods better because bacteria uses the warmth and wetness to multiply more. It soaks up the moist, making it bigger until it can multiply.

In the end, the experiment worked and bacteria was found where we least expected it. The one with the most bacteria is counters in Mrs. Jones classroom and the germ X cap also in Mrs. Jones classroom.
