What is a specific statement
of what you think will
happen?

The 6th grade students were each given an
assignment to plan an experiment on
microorganisms that they could do at home. Roah
wants to find out if light affects mold growth. For
his experimental plan he wrote that he would
place a slice of bread in a zip lock bag and put it
in a warm, light place. He would then place a 2nd
slice of bread in another zip lock bag and place it
in the refrigerator. After a few days of
observations, he would write his conclusion.
This experiment would not be valid because of
this.
A200
What is he can only change
one variable? (Either the
light or the temperature. Not
both.)

Kaleb wants to find out if Euglena need light to
survive. He decides to take water samples from
dark places in local ponds and check to see if
Euglena are present in them. Kaleb could improve
this experiment by doing this.
A 300
What is taking samples from
the light areas of the pond?
A 300
“What are three ways that
protozoa move?” is not a
question that can be answered
by an experiment because of
this.

What is there is no way to
change a variable? (This is
an observation.)

The foods listed below were
left in plastic bags in a warm
container for 5 days. The
following data was taken.
Bread-covered with black, fuzzy mold
Banana- slimy, black, turning to liquid
Hamburger-turned brown, smelly
Cheese-has white and green coating
This hypothesis was tested by
this experiment.

Joslyn went to get an apple
out of the refrigerator. When
she opened the crisper she
saw that one of the apples
was all soft, discolored and
rotten. This microorganism
most likely caused the apple
to rot.

Tallon works for a cheese manufacturing plant. His job is to
check the progress of the cheese as it cures. He knows that
the microorganisms used in the cheese-making process take
time to mature. His observations helped him to create the
chart below.
As Tallon checked four batches at different places in the
plant, he observed and recorded the following:
Batch A: Firm texture, sharp taste.
Batch B: Rubbery texture, mild taste.
Batch C: Firm texture, sharp taste, and rancid odor.
Batch D: Firm texture, mild taste.
Three hours-curds form
24 hours-rubbery stage
72 hours-firm stage, mild flavor
1000 hours-firm stage, sharp flavor
1500 hours-firm stage, sharp flavor, rancid odor
According to the chart, this batch of cheese had
cured the shortest amount of time.
B 500
What is Batch B?
B 500
Adding microorganisms to
sewage water, then bubbling
oxygen through it to provide
them with good living
conditions allows the
microorganisms to do this.
C 100
What is remove harmful
bacteria?
C 100
A good way to use
microorganisms as a
decomposer would be to do
this.
C 200
What is use it in a compost
pit. (place where organic
materials become soil)

The 6th grade students were given an assignment to prepare
an experiment on microorganisms at home that they could
share with the class.
Bayli grew mold on potato slices in four different
temperatures. She carefully recorded her date, took pictures
of the growth and wrote a complete conclusion.
Wyatt grew fungi on bread; he tested the effects of the
amount of moisture on the growth of fungi. He explained to
the class what he had learned with the help of a graph.
Jenna wanted to test different foods to see which one would
grow fungi best. She wrote a hypothesis and carefully
monitored he project and recorded her data. She explained
to the class which food worked best.
Enzo wanted to test whether fungi would grow better in a
dark area or a light one. He wrote a problem, did research,
wrote a hypothesis and procedure, kept data and wrote a
conclusion.
The students were trying to answer this question.

Caden wonders if a certain
bacteria can survive being
frozen. This could be his
hypothesis.
C 500
What is “If bacteria are
frozen, they will die.”
C 500
Protozoa can do this, but
fungi cannot.

D 100
Paramecium use this to move.

Marely saw some amoeba

A scientist received several
samples of pond water from
an uninhabited area; in the
sample there were several
new species of protozoa. He
knew that they could move
because they had this.

What are flagella?
D 400

throat.

Kylee decided to try an experiment with bacteria. During
the experiment four bacterial cultures were used. The
first (control) was allowed to grow undisturbed. The
second was treated with Penicillin, the third was treated
with soap and water, and the fourth was treated with
rubbing alcohol. She graphed the growth of each culture.
In this experiment, this treatment was most successful in
controlling bacterial reproduction.

Zion was watching microorganisms move through a
microscope. She wanted to get a good grade on her
written description of her observations. To get all of the
points possible she needed to use scientific language in
her description to her classmates. Look at the following
sentence that she wrote as she watched a Euglena move
across the slide.
“A long thin pointy creature with a single hair-like tail
wiggled its tail and pushed itself across the view area of
the microscope several times.”
The clearest statement of what she saw is this.

single flagellum swam across the
view area several times.
