During this week we had lots of fun. I thought learning about protists was jam packed with fun. I learned that protists are living one cell organisms. I thought it was really cool learning about how bacteria grows, reproduces and thrives. I really enjoyed doing our disinfectant lab. We got our results and was surprised that soap was the winner and it had worked the best! My hypothesis that the soap would be less effective than the other sanitizers was wrong and the results were surprising. I can improve on my hypothesis by taking what I already know with what is obvious and make a better educated guess. We also finished our microorganisms in school environment lab. I enjoyed this lab very much and I didn't know that there were so many microorganisms in our school environment! After finding out that there was more bacteria than I thought there was in the school it made me want to wash my hands more considering that soap kills more bacteria.
We had our quiz on Wednesday and it was on Sections 1 and 2. I learned a lot about bacteria and viruses and made a good grade on the quiz. I think our class really understood bacteria and viruses considering we had so many As and Bs on this quiz. Thursday's lab was my favorite lab this week! We placed food in jars and are hoping they grow mold so we can observe it. On Friday we did our mold spore lab and checked the progress of the mold on the food from Thursday's lab.
I wanted to see different types of protists and found a very informative site at microbe world. The link is attached.
