Project Title: Examination of bacterial content of sea water samples from selected sites in South East England Introduction Over the past few years coastal beaches across the UK has seen lavished with recognition for their cleanliness‚ by sections of the media and various organisarions. Majority of these beaches have been awarded the Blue flag award in recognition for meeting set criteria on various standard including cleanliness‚ water quality‚ environmental management and environmental education

Diffusion In Agar Cubes Is Bigger Better? OR Is Smaller Smarter? Adapted from Flinn Scientific Publication No. 10110 Introduction: Diffusion is one of the very important processes by which substances such as nutrients‚ water‚ oxygen‚ and cellular wasted are transported between living cells and their environment. This activity will help you explore the relationship between diffusion and cell size by experimenting with model “cells.” In this experiment‚ you will use agar cubes to which

Lab Report - Microbes Aim: To investigate four areas of the school and to find out which of the four have the most microbes. Areas to Sample: 1. Girl’s locker room (Senior school) 2. Girl’s locker room (Elementary school) 3. Boy’s locker room (Senior school) 4. Boy’s locker room (Elementary school) Hypothesis: We predict that the boy’s locker room in the senior school will have the most microbes. First of all‚ there are more people using our locker rooms in the Senior School

Ex.No.3 | PROCESSING OF JAM AND JELLY | Aim: To prepare jam and jelly from the given fruits and evaluate the same. Introduction Jam is prepared by boiling the fruit pulp with sufficient quantity of sugar to a reasonably thick consistency‚ firm enough to hold the fruit tissues in position. FSSAI - Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (2006) previously FPO - Fruit products order (1955) 45 per cent of fruit pulp should be used for every 55 per cent of sugar and the prepared

Agar What is it and where is it from? Derived from the cell walls of red algae‚ agar is a gelatinous substance extracted through a process of boiling and filtration. Agar is specifically used in laboratories for diagnostics and experimental purposes. Agars main purpose is to act as a growth medium for micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi. The micro-organisms feed off the nutrients contained in Agar and can be both cultured and observed within it by scientists and the use of a microscope. Using

certain situations. Different samples of bacteria cultures were gathered from different places such as the mouth‚ shaded mulch‚ and from the table top. The samples were collected by using a cotton swab and swiped onto a petri dish filled with nutrient agar. The bacteria were then left to grow on their own in a relatively well shaded area. As a control‚ a cotton swab that had nothing on it was used. It was recognized that different types of bacteria exist in different environments and grow in different
