Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hey! I'm doing this project in school where I need to grow bacteria. I need to make my own liquid agar, but I can't find a trustable source that provides some. Is there a way to make nutrient agar out of normal agar powder? I don't have much time, so I don't want to have to start over.

It's very smart that you're searching for reliable sources! I found a procedure on sciencing.com that is targeted towards middle and high school students. After a bit of research, it seems as if this website is a highly informational and reliable source. I've attached the procedure below.
