Bacteria Experiment

Lesson: Science

Class: Southworth - Year 5 Year: 2023 - 2024

For our Spring 2 Science unit - Living things and their habitats - we completed an investigation to understand how bacteria grows in different conditions. In teams, we decided which conditions we thought would generate the most growth on pieces of bread, choosing between: damp and light; damp and dark; dry and light, or dry and dark.

We left our samples for a week before documenting with photographs. We then returned the samples and left for a further 3 weeks.
