Description
My greatest school memory was the day my teacher asked me to swab the elevator button to “see what grows” in a petri dish. Over the next few days, I watched spellbound as colors and shapes of all sizes spread across the agar. And not necessarily spellbound in a good way, but I have been hooked on science ever since! Want to inspire curiosity (and a little hygiene!) in your children? Grow bacteria! This kit contains nearly everything you need for success: 20 plastic petri dishes, 2 bottles of nutrient agar, 1 bottle of iodine solution, 1 piece of blotter paper, 10 packages of sterile swaps (20 total), 4 disposal bags, an introduction to bacteria, and instructions to use the materials. Also included are step-by-step instructions for 4 experiments, plus ideas to design your own experiments. Microscope optional. Now…where did I put that cell phone. I wonder if it will grow something? ~Deanne
