Mr. Gonzalez's Science Classes
We have three 6th grade Science classes and two 8th grade Science classes blogging here from the Pacific Northwest in Chimacum, WA! Sixth graders are learning a bit about Mt Saint Helens, environmental science through fresh water ecology, and physical science this year. Eighth graders are learning about life science this year. Please join us as we learn Science by exploring our world.

Bacteria Everywhere pt2
A. Our question was which place is the dirtiest and I concluded that the keyboard was the dirtiest, if you think otherwise live a comment below.
E. The evidence for my conclusion is that the petri dish is covered with hundreds of colony's of bacteria the mouth also had quite a lot of bacteria I don't think there was as much as the keyboard.
I. The first thing I swabbed I forgot to do the zigzag motion and that was the urinal we also forgot to run it through water so we kinda messed up there, I also accidentally opened the lid too long so some of it got contaminated.
O. I observed that some parts were contaminated and the places that I had expected to have the most bacteria had actually the least.
U. I think that we muffed up a lot and we could do better if we did it again and actually remembered to moisten the q-tip and swab it correctly.
Y. Why was there little or no bacteria in a used urinal?
About the Blogger
I started my teaching career in South Central Los Angeles teaching in modified to full bilingual 4th and 5th grade classes. Then I moved to WA State where I have taught mainly 6th through 8th grade. I have enjoyed the culture clash but notice that kids are the same everywhere :o)
My areas of interest are science and technology but I also love studying ancient cultures and learning about different peoples and cultures.
