Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 - In class and homework

We examined our plates to check for the effectiveness of the antibiotics (we measured and recorded each type's "zone of inhibition"). We then performed a gram stain on our 2 species of bacteria and recorded our findings. We will wrap up the lab with a few summary questions tomorrow.

Friday, May 28th In Class and Homework

We streaked plates with 2 "unknown" species of bacteria (1 per student) and added 3 different antibiotics (as well as a control) to each of 4 quadrants. We will incubate these over the weekend and check the results (as well as conduct Gram staining) on Tuesday.

Thursday, May 27th 2010

We had to postpone day 2 of our bacteria lab - the plates for two of the species needed to be restreaked. We watched planet earth (period 6 - shallow seas, period 7 - mountains) and some students used the computers to finish up yesterday's in class work.
