Students can go around and swab different boy/girl articles of clothing, assessing the amount of bacteria on them. This can be put into a Petri dish to then grow bacteria.

We can use this information to stress the need to fully wash clothes before wearing them. We can also compare if girls tend to leave clothes dirtier than boys.

Is the water in the city of Coppell actually considered clean for consumption? By testing water fountains in multiple locations we can see if the water quality stays the same throughout the city. Locations to test: Andrew Brown Park, Coppell High School, Cosby Library, Farmer’s Market, Soda Fountain water in fast food place.

Using our findings we could create a presentation to raise concern for cleaner water to the mayor and board of directory of Coppell.

How do germs vary from different classrooms

# data[].attributes.body
We could test different classroom settings like science , history, math, etc. and see how germs vary depending on the classroom. This is because in each classroom different activities are taking place, which increases the chances of different germs spreading from student to student.

We could use this information to tell students to use better sanitary skills throughout the school day to ensure less chances of students getting sick.

We should take samples of dirty phones using swabs on screens or picks inside charging and speaker ports. After we can use this data to learn how and where we need to clean our phones.

We can use this information to properly clean our phones from now on, and locate the dirtiest area on our phones to be aware of, and properly clean them to avoid sickness among people, and promote overall cleanliness.

Our idea is to see the difference between bacteria growth in brie or blue cheese. We’re trying to see the difference in aging until it’s no longer edible. Also to see what’s the limit/ classification of edible mold to non-edible mold.

Teach people why it’s okay to eat some molds and not others.

Every science classroom that does experiments has goggles. Unlike the glass wear or lab table, they are not cleaned at the end of the experiment. After being on someone’s face, they are stuck back into the cabinet. There could be a multitude of germs on the plastic component from someone’s face, or on the elastic band from someone’s hair.

We could use this data to prevent more clean practices in the labs in this school.

Depending on the results, we can confidently assert the correct foods to eat based off of cleanliness. Determining which food is cleaner can help individuals avoid stomach bugs and bacterial contents, in addition; companies may benefit too, by reassuring confidence in the sanity of their foods leading to more sales.

We could test used makeup tools such as brushes and sponges to test which collects the most bacteria and how long before they should be washed.

Using this information, we could bring more attention to hygiene and skin protection by partnering with school organizations such as the Dermatology club. We could promote our findings using club events and posters around the school.

We could take samples before and after a cat cleans themselves and when we bath them to see which one is more cleaner.

We can use this information to see whether cats need to be bathed and get rid of the stigma of cats being cleaner than dogs and that self cleaning makes you cleaner than not doing so.

We could test how much bacteria our school IDs carry and spread. If they do carry a dangerous amount, we could promote cleaning them and keeping them clean because we wear it everyday and they are constantly exposed to everything.

We should test how much bacteria is on air vents. We could test vents by the last time they were cleaned with our control being a freshly cleaned vent. By swabbing and testing the bacteria growth on Petri dishes we could see if the longer time without being cleaned yields higher bacteria growth. This information could be used to better our school and another way to prevent sicknesses.

We could test different coins and their ability to foster bacterial growth. Throughout history the materials or metal rather, that were used to create the coins we use as money has changed depending on the economic status of the world and general affordability to produce the coin. Typically they appear in different compositions like nickel, zinc and often times even bronze, presented in different alloy like formats.

We could use this information to determine the which material is the worst at harboring bacteria growth and understand why that is. Additionally, this could be applicable to future endeavors in the industrial and architectural sectors of the world. This could give us a better look and maybe even persuade a particular material to be used for the coins of the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Bacteria from the same floor will be swabbed for incubation, we will place the 2 respective samples and place one in the fridge, and one near a window where it’s relatively warm. The information collected would help people in general know which surfaces harbor more bacteria. For example: phone cleaning technologies could use information to determine which conditions are optimal for bacteria mitigation and cleansing.
