Improved Essays
Introduction:
In this Biology class, we want to find which place is dirtiest place in the school. So, my group Locker D2165, Elijah's left boot, Boys sink plug puller, Small spot under Gregor’s castle, Mrs. Pearce closest table to her desk, On the right marker tray of Ms.Pearce’s out of by cell phone jail, Boys bathroom behind toilet floor crease, Stair hand rail by library top rail.

Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that the more commonly used and more commonly touched items in the school will collect the most bacteria and or mold. I predict that Boys sink plug puller will be collecting the most bacteria and Small spot under Gregor’s castle because they are more commonly used and did not clean every time.

I predict that the bottom of the sink and the panels inside of the fan will collect the least amount of bacteria because they are less commonly used. If the panels inside of the fan and the bottom of the sink collect the most bacteria then my hypothesis is disproved.

I predict that Boys sink plug puller will be collecting the most bacteria and Small spot under Gregor’s castle because they are more commonly used and did not clean every time. I predict that Mrs. Pearce closest table to her desk will collect the least amount of bacteria because they are less commonly used and clean sometime.

Procedure:
Control: We took three Q tips, Dip one untouched side in water, Then rub it on the wet zone. We then take one untouched side and rub it on the dry side.

1: Locker D2165; First we grabbed our q tip and wet it. Second we slowly swab and spin the untouched cotton swab side on the cylindrical dial of the lock all over where the fingers touch.

2: Elijah's left boot; We checked out the inside of Elijah's left foot deep the heel, then we swabbed

    The purpose of this lab is to examine cross sections from the leaves of C3 and C4 plants and to determine the morphological differences between them while relating those differences to their metabolism. In C3 plants the carbon dioxide is first incorporated into a 3-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place throughout the mesophyll cells. In comparison C4 plants, the CO2 is first incorporated into a 4-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place within the inner cells.…

    The procedure of the lab for the first day involved our group acquiring a cotton swab and using the swab to gather the Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria from various spots around our face, we then grabbed a Petri dish filled only with a thin layer of agar. We proceeded to swab the P. acnes bacteria off of the cotton swab (gently to not break the agar) into the Petri dish. Once we had completed swabbing the P. acnes over the agar we closed the Petri dish, taped over the dish and then wrote our initials on the dish and handed both to Mr.Breines who then put the Petri dishes into an…

    In order to determine the identity of two unknown bacteria, I performed a series of experiments over several days. To begin this process I created a dichotomous key that I utilized as a guide to perform a series of inoculations, while using both selective, and differential media. The series of inoculations eliminated bacterium based on test results until the correct bacteria were both positively identified. On day one of this process I received two bacteria, one labeled 7A and the other labeled 7B. I began the experiment with thirteen possible bacteria.…

    Disease In The Ghost Map

    The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson is a true story of a terrifying outbreak of cholera and how Dr. John Snow and reverend Henry Whitehead used their knowledge of the disease to find out how prevalent it was over the whole city of London. The disease may have been unfamiliar to them, but common to the millions of people around the country, whose living conditions and sanitation processes were not as good or advanced as theirs. The story reflects the world through the wide varieties of disciplines, including history, science and culture. During the Victorian era, England’s class distinctions and prejudices have affected the people’s understanding of the “bad science” behind the cholera through “Miasma Theory”, which lead them to make changes in the cities, society, and people’s belief through epidemiology. The Ghost Map is a wonderful illustration of how science and public policy interplay.…

    . It was also revealed by NSW (2000) that there are a few variations in the sources of gray water in that bathroom (hand basin, shower, and bath) which generates about 38% of the household wastewater flow (55% of greywater) and is considered to be the least contaminated type of greywater. Microbiologically, thermotolerant coliform concentrations have been assessed in shower and bath water to be in the range of 104 to 106 cfu/100mL. People often urinate in showers and baths concern is often expressed about the increased health aspects of inappropriate disposal. While urine in a healthy person is sterile, some bladder infections may pass microorganisms in urine.…

    My idea for a science project is to investigate whether “the five-second rule” is true or not. I decided on this project after my mom took a microbiology class and became obsessive with germs and bacteria. She is constantly telling me to wash my hands and not to eat food that has fallen on the floor. I want to see if my mom’s theory is accurate. During this background research paper, I will cover past similar research experiments, as well as explain the concept of my project and why the results are important in everyday life.…

    Socio-Ecological Model: Washing Hands Rose-Bertine Mercier University of Kansas HSES 365: Peer Health Education Handwashing is the first preventive step to reduce medical conditions caused by bacterial and fungi. In many cases, it is deemed as “do-it-yourself vaccine” (CDC, 2016). Many preventable diseases are caused by lack of hygienic practices. By properly “washing hands before and after preparing foods, eating foods, caring for the sick, after using the toilet, blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing, and many more activities could reduce the spread of illnesses” (CDC, 2015). In order to understand the importance of washing hands and the effects it has, the socio-ecological model (SEM) is the method to use.…

    Five Second Rule

    • 228 Words
    • 1 Pages

    A common culinary trait in America today is the Five Second Rule, which is the idea that states that food does not collect bacteria if it is picked up within five seconds. However, do different circumstances affect the amount of bacteria that is collected? This experiment observes which foods attract the most bacteria depending on which surface it was tested on. The food items, which already had bacteria from being handled, were pressed against one side of a petri dish, dropped, and pressed against the other side in order to compare the amount of bacteria before and after being dropped. The amount of bacteria was measured by counting the number of bacterial colonies after incubating the plates for about 74 hours at 90° Fahrenheit.…
