Day 23 - Bacteria Experiment Part 2

Target: I will perform our experiment in groups and learn how to record data.

Today we began class by reviewing the procedures we came up with for our experiment. These had to be double checked before getting agar plates and swabs to conduct our experiment.

Before starting the experiment we discussed how to record our data and results. Students created a foldable for assignment 30. This includes a drawing representing the concept of the experiment, drawings of the petri dishes for 5 days with quantitative (numbers) and qualitative (descriptions) data.

Students then began their experiments- labeling their agar plates,  taking swabs from finger nails, railings outside, mouths, ears, noses, coins, and more! They then put them into the incubator.

It will be really interesting to see what grows!
