Science experiment---------------------------------- Bacteria growth in the various parts of the house
The plan for the experiment • Materials : measuring instrument to an accuracy to of 0.1cm3 & can measure from 0.1 - 100cm3 at least, cotton swabs, Petri dish, thermometer • Materials to make Agar nutrients: agar powder 1.5g, Bovril 2g, sodium chloride 0.5g, water 10cm3 • Step 1: mix all the materials to make agar nutrients (agar powder 1.5g, Bovril 2g, sodium chloride 0.5g, water 10cm3) into a paste then slowly add water with stirring until the mixture reaches to 100cm3.
The plan for the experiment • Step 2: Heat the mixture in a boiling water bath to 95 °C in the required container. • Step 3: pour the mixture evenly into six petri dishes evenly.
