Where can we find bacteria?
Lab Today
• Bacteria and fungi have been growing for 6
days
• We will look at what grew
• Make observations
• Reassess hypothesis
• Make conclusions
• Make health recommendations
Safety
• Keep the Petri dish closed
• Don’t open it or touch the samples
Observations
• What does it look like?
– Color
– Shape – circular, irregular?
– Texture – shiny, fuzzy?
• Make a drawing of what you see (use color)
