Collecting Bacteria!

Today we collected bacteria from all around the classroom using swabs.  We will watch this bacteria grow over the next week.  We even took it from all of our own hands... I wonder who is carrying the most bacteria!  (We will find out!)

Over the next week, we are going to research bacteria, understand how it grows, how can be good for us and then write an informative report about bacteria.  If there is time we might even make bacteria inspired art!
