Experimenting with Mr. Hall

We had the honor of having a special guest scientist today to do a science experiment with us! Liam's dad, Jonathan Hall works at NC state and came in to conduct an experiment involving microrganisms. He explained how there are smaller organisms than even bugs that we can't see, like bacteria! The students predicted what areas in the classroom are the dirtiest or have the most bacteria. Then, They swabbed the various areas to put the specimen on Petri dishes. Mr. Hall is going to put them in an incubator for a couple days to see what grows and bring it back to test our predictions. We are looking forward to having him back and learning more from our experiment!
