Aim:
I want to find out what type of bacteria are around our school.
Research:
Method:
Equipment:
- Cotton Buds
- Agar Plates
- Marker Pen
- Sellotape
Instructions
- Wash your hands.
- Get all equipment
- Use a marker pen to write your name and where you got the bacteria on the lid.
- Wet the cotton bud with water and swab the surface.
- Gently swab the agar plate.
- Tape around the edges of the agar plate.
- Put the agar plate in an incubator overnight.
- Observe what happens on the plate the next day.
Results:
The types of bacterias in my agar plate contained different types of bacteria.
The white blobs could be are poop bacteria or known as E. coli.
The yellow, gold or orange blobs could be streptococci or throat infection.
The pink blobs (found on my classmates experiments) could be salmonella, something that makes you have food poisoning.
The red blobs (which no one had) could be meningitis something that can make you have a brain infection.
Thank you for reading this blog post.
