Bacteria Lab Conclusion

The 8-year-old boy had been playing outside
before he pressed his hand into the Petri dish.
Image from Tasha Sturm, a microbiologist, of her son's hand.
In class, we observed bacteria (& molds and yeasts) that you collected from around the building. 
YOUR drawing, data table and this conclusion are due TUESDAY 9/20 at the beginning of class.









8. Write a conclusion that completes the following components.
a.                   Restate the hypothesis and describe if it was confirmed or contradicted.
b.                   State the answer to your question.
c.                   Explain your results using your data (PUT NUMBERS IN YOUR WRITING!!!).
d.                  Describe procedure errors and any limitations or observed mistakes that influenced your results 
                       (be specific.  Just writing 'human error' is too vague.)
e.                  Describe modifications to improve the experiment procedure and future topics of study

f.                    Connect your findings to the real world or other studies.
