4. What areas of the school are the
dirtiest?
Is the surface dangerous to students
just because it is dirty?
How can we learn about bacteria in
our environment?
Can we adequately clean surfaces to
protect ourselves?
How does the environment at school
affect the health of the students?

6. Course Goals
Richness- We chose our project based on what we
thought would be interesting and what we had questions
about. Throughout the final project we have used the
investigative process. We are continuously asking
questions and are finding that there isn’t always one
correct answer and many of our questions can’t be
answered.
Recursion- Our project has required us to take notes
and document our thoughts, questions, and details of the
project. We have used the inquiry process and examined
our project at the macro and micro level.
Relations- The group project has required us to work
and learn together. We each did our part and helped one
another.
Rigor- This project has helped us to better understand
that learning is on-going; that there are always more
questions to answer and more to learn.

8. Getting Ready to
Gather Germs
Our first day as a group
we brainstormed all
kinds of questions
about germs, our
second day we
prepared to get our
answers.
Before we could collect
our samples of germs in
the environment we
needed to prepare our
agar petri dishes.
9. Preparing the
AGAR
Materials: Microwave,
microwaveable container,
water, agar powder, plastic
wrap, stir stick, 20 petri
dishes, permanent marker,
tape.
Procedure:
1. Place agar powder into
microwaveable container
and add 2.5 cups or
600ml water, stir.
2. Microwave 2 minutes,
stir, and continue
microwaving at 1 minute
intervals and stirring
until agar is completely
dissolved.
3. Cover and cool 3-5
minutes.
10. 1. Lift lid off petri dish.
2. Pour 1/8 to ¼ inch
into dish.
3. Immediately replace
lid and tape.
4. Allow to cool 30 min.
5. Place in refrigerator
until ready to use.
11. Plan of attack
Investigate campus locations that have an increased
amount of student activity, take samples.
Supplies: 20 moist swabs, 20 Ziploc baggies, 10
Clorox disinfecting wipes, permanent marker.
Locations:
Bathroom
Library
stall Elevator Table work-
interior Fountain top
buttons station

12. Swab dirty surface with moist swab and
place in labeled Ziploc bag.
Clean area and allow to dry for 30
seconds.
Swab area again with clean, moist swab
and place in labeled Ziploc bag.
Remove lid from labeled petri dish and
swab in 4 quadrants, immediately
replace lid and seal with tape.

15. Form
Color Elevation
What are we
observing?
We are observing the
characteristics of the sample.
Basically, what can we see on the
macro and micro levels.
Opacity Margin
(Edge)
Surface
16. Form - What is the basic shape of the colony?
Elevation - What is the cross sectional shape of the
colony? Turn the Petri dish on end.
Margin - What is the magnified shape of the edge of the
colony?
Surface - How does the surface of the colony appear?
Opacity - For example, transparent (clear), opaque, translucent
(almost clear, like looking through frosted glass), iridescent.
Chromogenesis (color) - For example, white, buff, red,
purple, etc.
There are 3 additional characteristics that can only be examined
in a supervised laboratory setting: consistency, emulsifiability,
and odor.

33. Activity Questions
1. Look over the handout
2. What do you observe in the
petri dishes?
3. Where were the samples
taken? What kinds of
surfaces?
4. Are those areas places that
you frequent?
5. What could you do to the
environment to make it
safer? Yourself?
6. What else do you want to
know about GERMS?

37. Cleaning Conclusions
Use cleaning products according
to label for best results.
Avoid areas that are visibly
dirty and difficult to clean
thoroughly.
38. Interview with Dr. Anderson
IUPUI Biology Department
What We Found Out!
We had hoped to answer some of our questions about the
types of bacteria that are growing. Unfortunately the biology
dept. does not have the resources to conclude what we have
growing in our petri dishes.
Dr. Anderson was able to explain:
-we were not growing any viruses, only bacteria and fungi.
-some are always harmful to your body- like strep and
meningitis.
-most bacteria are not harmful unless we are exposed to them
in large amounts.
39. How It Affects You!
Many of the bacteria and viruses can lead to other
illnesses like food poisoning, pneumonia, bronchitis, and
many types of infections, including fungal infections.
Taking a daily vitamin can boost your immune system
and help you stay healthy!
Using Clorox disinfecting wipes is just one way to reduce
contact with bad germs! Can you think of others?
Common Infections Clorox Wipes Kill:
Found on Campus:
-Cold/flu - Staph infection
-Strep throat - Strep throat
-Meningitis - Cold/flu virus
-Mono - Salmonella
- E. Coli
- Meningitis
40. Campus/Illness Facts
Schools are an excellent breeding ground for
bacteria/diseases.
Lack of sleep during “crunch time” can bring your immune
system down.
The two most Common Bacteria found on campuses are
meningitis, and strep throat.
Meningitis Symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting,
headache, sensitivity to light, nasal congestion and a
stiff neck. Meningitis is often confused with a less
serious illness such as a cold or the flu.
Strep Throat Symptoms include difficulty swallowing,
red or white spots in the throat, swollen or sore
glands, fever, rash and digestive pain or discomfort.
42. What is the # 1 thing you
can do to prevent the spread
of these germs?
Hand Washing:
It’s easy to do and it's one of the most effective ways
to prevent the spread of many types of illnesses.
Clean hands can stop germs from spreading from one
person to another.
43. Did you know?
Most people do not wash their hands correctly
or long enough.

20 seconds should be the amount of time
for hand washing! Next time you wash your
hands count and see if you pass the test!
Tip: Sing the ABC song or Happy Birthday for the
duration of hand washing!
44. Fact from CDC
If you start
washing your
hands correctly for
20 seconds or more
this could save up
to 1 million lives
per year!

45. When should you wash your hands?

Before eating
After using the bathroom
After changing diapers
Before and after caring for someone who is sick
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
