Students gather bacteria from two similar locations in the school. They will place their bacteria cultures in an incubator for 24 hour periods. Each day they will gather data and document the changes to their cultures. The second component of the bacteria collection lab is to test the ability of common household products to either prevent the growth of bacteria or kill bacteria that are already growing. Students design their own experiment, collect bacteria, grow bacteria, and test antimicrobial products. This is an on-going project requiring 2-4 weeks of class time.

This looks like a cool experiment. I am not sure I would want to know the results.
