Student Bacteria Experiment Kit
|
Students can conduct their own bacteria tests with this
hands-on, easy-to-use kit. Taking control of the procedure, students melt the media
in a microwave, pour their own media plates, and test for growth in four popular
experiments. The experiments are sure to be memorable because they investigate the levels
and importance of bacteria in everyday situations. |

Experiments include:
- Testing common use items such as bathroom handles, door
knobs, and water fountains
- Determine how much bacteria soap eliminates when dirty
hands are cleaned
- Determine how much bacteria in the mouth is eliminated
when mouthwash is used
- Compare bacteria levels in a human's mouth to a dog's
mouth
The agar is shipped in a
gel form - to make it ready for experiments the gel is poured into petri
dishes, heated in a microwave, and allowed to harden for approximately 24
hours. Experiment growth results take
approximately 48 hours to completely develop after swabbed samples are
applied to the hardened agar.
Kit contains two 200mL bottles of Prepared Nutrient Agar,
20 Gamma Radiated Sterile Petri Dishes, 10 sterile swabs, and four detailed Experiment
instruction sheets. The kit can be used for individual experiments, or is sufficient
for use by four groups of up to 6 students. Bottles of Agar have a
shelf life of approximately one year if kept in a cool location.
Recommended for grades 5 to 12.
