I did this project because it sounded pretty interesting and fun. I also like gross stuff and it is gross, too. This project is about collecting bacteria samples from different locations and cleaning half with clorox and half with isopropyl alcohol (70%) to then see which cleans it better. Another reason why I did this project is because it could help people know which cleaning solution is better and where to clean more.

  1. Good work for future research lets try other location and also compare

  2. Your data collection was very detailed! It was interesting to see that alcohol was the clear winner for the light switch. You did a great job describing what the bacterial colonies looked like as they grew.

  3. You did a wonderful job testing so many different surfaces in a real home environment! Your detailed notes over 120 hours of observation show that you are a very meticulous and patient scientist! I enjoyed learning about your project!
