The Results Are In...And You Will Be Surprised!
As some of you may remember, last week, the kids and I did a "germ" experiment. We took five samples of possible "germy" material. We rubbed our samples or placed them in our petri dishes on top of a gelatin/sugar mix. After a week of observations and waiting, here are our results...

After one week, the cat hair is covered in green and white mold (yuck!). The dirt, moss, and raw milk all have a very small patch of mold forming. Interestingly, the milk has bubbled the gel, but didn't start forming mold until the last day or so. And the big surprise of the experiment...absolutely no bacterial growth from the 5 year olds mouth!!! So, she either has an extraordinarily clean mouth, or any bacteria is killed in her mouth???
We are going to try and do another experiment and test everyones mouths, as well as the dogs hair. I don't know how much I want to pet the cat now though!
