You can find bacteria where a lot of people go. ]]> 2018-09-27 13:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286492594 Claim kberge22 https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286494727 If I collect bacteria, then I will see the most growth samples collected from a light switch.

The most growth came from the gym floor. ]]> 2018-09-27 13:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286494727 Evidence kberge22 https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286495708 Looking at the data we collected, the gym floor had the most colonies out of all the other locations. ]]> 2018-09-27 13:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286495708 Reasoning kberge22 https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286506376 Looking at the Contact plate, you are more likely to find bacteria growing on the gym floor because not only do a large amount of people go onto to the gym floor, but a majority of them are sweaty because it's a court for games. Sweat adds to whatever bacteria that is already growing on the floor in the first place. As you can see from the data, the gym floor had the most colonies, and it covered 98% of the quadrant it was in. Other quadrants were not as covered as quadrant 4. For instance, quadrant 3 only covers about 5% of the quadrant. ]]> 2018-09-27 13:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286506376 CONTACT PLATE kberge22 https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286763402 1-handrail

When people fall or touch the floor, the bacteria continues to grow onto the floor. ]]> 2018-09-27 22:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kberge22/3x5t0uvth63j/wish/286765080
