Science (Biology)

• LAB: Last week, we cultured bacteria on Petri dishes.  One dish was a swab of her teeth before brushing and one was a swab of her teeth after brushing.  Today, we looked at the results.  The Petri dish "after brushing" had significantly less bacteria on it.  We looked at the bacteria under the microscope.
• LAB Set-up: We set up three more Petri dishes.  I'm going to check for bacterial growth around Thursday.
• 1 - a swab of the dog's teeth along the gum line
• 2 - a swab from underneath the dog's paw
• 3 - a swab from an open sore on skin (yep, really gross)
