bacteria around our school... and a surprising update from Japan

Your data is here


To analyze the data,

HYPOTHESIS:
Create a hypothesis about what area of the school will yield the fastest growing bacteria and the most number of colonies.

OBSERVATION
 Next, create a data table showing in the following columns

1.  names
2.  a. location of sample
2.b. is this a high traffic location for human contact?
2c.  is this a dry, sticky, wet, warm, cold location, or don't know?
3.a  number of colonies
3b.  and their relative size of colonies (estimate size of each dot or circle diameter based on petri dish size

4.  colour of colonies

5.  Any mold sample?

Note that a nil result tells you something too!


ANALYSIS
1. Tell me some patterns that you are noticing in the collection of these samples.
2. Which locations are yielding the most samples.
3.Why might some samples yield more bacteria or faster growing bacteria?
4. What are some limitations of this study and some sources of experimental error?

CONCLUSION
Write a well reasoned conclusion based on your observations.

EVALUATION   IS OUT OF 25 IN TOTAL

5

presentation is out of 5.  for 5/5 it is typed  with illustrations or photos and emailed to msngscience@gmail.com.     for 4/5 it is pretty good but there are a few spelling mistakes.  for 0-3 out of 5 it is in pencil or messy.  I prefer this to be printed

10

Clear writing is out of 10.  for 9/10 or 10/10, it is written with no English mistakes and it clearly communicates each part of the lab report.    7-8/10  it is very well written     for 5-6/10 some parts are not so clear and the reader must guess what you are trying to say.  0-4/10, it is minimally communicating what happened

10

Paragraphs are insightful and your observations are well done. this is out of 10.

             9-10/10,   your observations and conclusions are well written and logical.  It is brilliant

              7-8/10   your observations and conclusions are very well done

               5-6   your conclusions don't really logically follow from your results

                0-4   your conclusions are not relating to your results at all

write all names and who contributed what including the % of their contribution. so two people who contributed equally would be50%
