Sydney is growing bacteria for her 4th grade science project. I ordered some petri dishes online which came with the awger (bleached algea) to feed the bacteria. We took samples from between her toes, behind her ears, in her nose, in her mouth, and under her finger nails. Melia wanted to grow some bacteria also so I swabbed between all her fingers. 48 hours later and the bacteria are growing quite well, which is a relief because I don't want to have to buy more dishes and do this process over again. The most growth is from the sample I took from Melia! EEEWWWWW!!!! I took the top off of the dish and boy does that stuff stink!!! No wonder they make pre-k students wash their hands all the time! I will keep everyone updated and will post pictures at the end of the week when the project is over. I want you all to be impressed, or grossed out! lol!
