2.) Then we will clean the petri dish and put on our gloves.

3.) Next pour the agar into the petri dish. About half way filled.
4.) Next we will wait for the agar to turn into a jelly-like consistency
 5.) Then we will collect bacteria from different places using cotton swabs.
6.) Then we will label and seal the petri dish.
7.) Then we will  place the petri dish in a dry, warm place.
8.) Then after a week or so we will collect data and see if the bacteria has grown.
9.) When we are finalized with the project, we will pour bleach in the dishes to kill the bacteria and throw it away properly.

Independent variable: the areas we are collecting bacteria from.

Dependent variable: Whether or not there is bacteria growing ]]> 2018-03-26 19:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/246254948 andreasenj https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255413941 For Science Symposium Ashlyn 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 expect it?" It takes four to six days for the bacteria to grow in the petri dish.In order for the bacteria to grow the temperature needs to be 70 to 98 degrees F.]]> 2018-04-25 19:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255413941 andreasenj https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255416384 We are done with the research and we will be ready to start the experiment the next time we do science symposium in class.]]> 2018-04-25 19:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255416384 andreasenj https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255416976 Where should we collect data around the school?

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.]]> 2018-04-26 13:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255649983 andreasenj https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255656019 2018-04-26 14:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255656019 andreasenj https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255663189 2018-04-26 14:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255663189 andreasenj https://padlet.com/andreasenj/wmnekw9uvmmk/wish/255663743 Check #1 4-30-18
About 3 of the dishes had bacteria collecting in them. They had a few white spots.



Check#2  5-2-18
Spots have grown bigger and have spread throughout the other containers.




check#3 5-4-18
White spots have gotten bigger and turned some yellow.



check #4 5-7-18
