Science Fair Project Help

Post by YusufBey »

I am making a simple science fair project by measuring the amount of bacteria using cotton swabs and rubbed them on the petri dish. I have a couple questions for the experiment:
  • 1. Is "Covered in Bacteria" a good title?
    2. Is a good question "Do places that have been touched by a lot of people have more bacteria?"
    3. Is a good hypothesis "If objects are touched more often then they will contain more bacteria because bacteria can spread from objects to objects"

    Thanks,
    YusufBey :P

Hi YusufBey,

Your title, question and hypothesis seem to be right on track! Great work!

For your experiment, how will you pick surfaces that are touched more often and surfaces that are touched less often?

Hello,
I will be using a phone and a remote controller for the objects touched more often and for the ones not touched often I will be using a vent in the ceiling and lightbulb.

P.S. I've changed the title to "Got Bacteria?" is that better?

Thanks in advance,
YusufBey :)

Hi YusufBey,

I love your title! Very creative surfaces for testing.

Happy experimenting!
