Our first lab was the Bacteria lab. We collected bacteria from around the school and put it in agar ( bacteria food) petri dishes and incubated them. Our hypothesis was "The different areas will have different types of bacteria, based on heat, water and “openness”."
We found the bacteria we got from the bathroom grew the largest and with most colonies.
Photosynthesis
In this lab we cut spinach and forced them to photosynthesize. Our hypothesis was "Since plants reflect green light, we think the blue food coloring will speed up because it wouldn't have any green light to reflect." we were incorrect, the blue water blocked out sunlight and made it harder for the spinach to produce oxygen.
Water Lab
In our water lab we went to the bay and collected water from varying distance from the drain. Our hypothesis was " We believe that the further away from a storm drain, the less potent with pollutants the water will become. " We were correct.
