dude,

I'm not quite sure about what you mean by "a way to test for bacteria"? Are you looking for a way to figure out whether bacteria are present in or on something? Are you trying to identify the type of bacteria? Are you looking for a quantitative analysis or do you just want to confirm/deny the presence of bacteria?

Post back with your grade level and more detail about exactly what you want your test to do and we'll work together to develop a method!
All the best,
Terik
