4/9

On Monday, students were asked to design an experiment to determine where bacteria can be found in our school. Students had to construct a question to investigate, make a hypothesis, and then swab their selected samples into a Petri dish. Students took swabs of locations including teachers' desks, shoes, computer keyboards, doorknobs, and much more! We let the dishes will incubate over for a few days and then checked our results on Thursday. Most students were surprised by their findings. Ask to see what they found!

We reviewed our protist notes on Wednesday by playing bingo. Students were also introduced to some of the protists that we will be viewing in our lab next week (amoeba, paramecium, and euglena).
