Fa'afetai lava mai. Check out the photos of our class.  

Bacteria

R13 grew bacteria from a variety of surfaces around the school. See how we did it and check out our results.

Warning: Do not look if you have just eaten!!


How to swab and grow bacteria:

Materials
Swab

1.  Swab an item using a swab. A swab looks like a cotton bud but longer.

2.  Wipe the swab onto the agar gel that is in the petri dish.

3.  Place the lid on the petri dish and label it using paper tape.

4.  Watch the bacteria grow.
