Bacteria Lab

We began yesterday with making observations about a sample of river water.  The students saw a lot of interesting critters moving around in the water.  Today we are going to make further observations by looking to agar plates.  The students will be able to culture a few local specimens of bacteria and fungi in the school to see what they look like after a weekend of growth.

The start up for today is "What do you think will happen if you allowed bacteria and fungi to grow undisturbed for 48 hours?"
