Disease of the Day #3
Go over homework
Bacteria Lab
Class Wrap- Up:
Today we started class by going over the disease of the day which was: influenza. We learned that it is transmitted by saliva and can't be killed the symptoms can only be treated. We also learned that we could prevent it by getting vaccinated. After, that we went over UP page 12 which was due today and discussed questions that anyone had about it. Then, we started our bacteria lab. For the lab we had to take cotton swabs and rub commonly used places to gently remove the bacteria. We then rubbed it in to the petri dish that had agar, a sterilizer on it. My group tested the new pit stairs, the boys bathroom, and the door knob in the IMC. They will be sterilized over the weekend and when we come back on Monday we will see how much bacteria there was. After that, we took a bacteria concentrated liquid and rub it on agar as well. We put 3 different antibiotics, Neomycin, Streptomycin, and Tetracycline in areas around the petri dish ad left one to be a control group. We will also check our results on Monday.
The Homework for the weekend is:
