Bacteria Experiment in Mr.Bundas' Room

The students in 7B are currently doing a bacteria experiment. This will be going on for a few weeks. My opinion on experimenting with bacteria is, "Eww, how gross!"

In the experiment you can tell the species by color. Basically, we collected bacteria, we rubbed the bacteria on a food called agar, and now we wait for the bacteria to grow.

If you don't think it is gross, read the stuff we used for sources of bacteria. My group did Mrs.Wallich’s nose. Some others collected samples from Mr. McGovern’s ear, a locker comb, the bottom of Mr.Jastrow’s foot, the mouth piece on the drinking fountain, a staircase railing, Mrs. Richardson’s foot, a toilet handle, and Mr.Bundas’ plastic skeleton ribs. If you would like to see the bacteria samples growing, they are located in Mr.Bundas’ room.

I think seeing all this bacteria growing from samples collected here at school may cause me to stay home from school forever.
