Suds vs. Bacteria Does the amount of suds correlate with the effectiveness of the soap? Group AZA: Zuki Alan Aziza
More Suds!! Your hands are filthy. You turn on the water and rub on soap. Immediately, white suds start to form. Why are there suds? Could they possibly help clean your hands better? In that case, would more suds mean your hands are cleaner?
Hypothesis We predicted that if we tested the effectiveness and the amount of suds from each soap, then we would find a correlation between the two results.
Videos • Now we will present you video of our methods.
Results (cont.) • Texture of suds differ in antibacterial/hand and bio- soap • Suds last longer in anti-bacterial and hand soap • Length of time that mixture is shaken affects amount of suds
Conclusion • There appears to be a correlation between the amount of suds and the cleanliness of the soap. • The Bio-soap was the least efficient at cleaning up bacteria. • The Anti-Bacterial soap was the most efficient at cleaning up bacteria.
Assumption • The scent of the soap will not affect the bacteria. • The force at which the soap-water solution will be shaken will not have a significant effect on the formation of the suds. • The more surface area (more suds) will pick up more dirt.
