Purpose:Purpose: To observe multiple environments that harbor To observe multiple environments that harbor
bacterial growth and determine which bacterial growth and determine which environment under investigation is most environment under investigation is most conducive to bacterial growthconducive to bacterial growth
Environments under investigation:Environments under investigation:airairsoilsoilwashed/unwashed handswashed/unwashed handsdoor handle of men’s bathroomdoor handle of men’s bathroomraw chickenraw chickenpond waterpond water
Hypothesis:Hypothesis:
Pond Water Pond Water largest and most diverse population of largest and most diverse population of
bacteria due to a vast array of living and bacteria due to a vast array of living and decomposing organisms that are decomposing organisms that are vulnerable to bacterial colonization vulnerable to bacterial colonization

The Petri dishes will be analyzed by using colony The Petri dishes will be analyzed by using colony morphology characteristics to see which one has morphology characteristics to see which one has the most species of bacteria. This will be the most species of bacteria. This will be accomplished by identifying and tabulating the accomplished by identifying and tabulating the number of different colonies present in each number of different colonies present in each sample. sample.
