#####BACTERIA#####

Ewwwww...Bacteria is number 1 out of the 4 types of microbes. Number 2 is protists,3 is fungi, and 4 is viruses. Viruses can make you sick, with measles, rabies, chicken pox and lots of others. They can make almost any type of organism sick. Fungi is no fun guy. Fungi is mostly seen on old rotting logs. It is also everywhere from old stuff to newspapers. Like protists fungi have a nucleus. More than 100,000 types of fungi are known to man kind. Mushrooms are the most common known. There are 200,000 types of protists and are classified into 3 main groups, algae, protozoa,and slime molds. Bacteria in my opinion are the grossest. They can be found everywhere on your body. There are 4,000 types of bacteria. For a science experiment I am growing bacteria. I have 4 petri dishes filled with gelatin. On the gelatin I have bacteria from 4 different places. Kitchen door knobs,Alena's toes,my armpit,and my spit. It has been about 5 days since I first started growing it. Right now they have little white spots all over the gelatin. I did this experiment before a couple of years ago. I can't wait to see how big the bacteria will get!

My bacteria grew very well. The one that grew the biggest in my opinion is Alena's toes. just think if you never washed your feet how gross and stinky the would be. Let this be a lesson for all of you folks and be sure to take showers....a lot.
