Why Didn't It React?

Why didn't water kill the bacteria? It didn't kill bacteria because water does not remove bacteria from things. Why didn't the sanitizer kill bacteria? It doesn't have strong enough antiseptic cleaners in it. Why didn't the control work? It didn't work because the paper towel already had bacteria on it. The only reason bleach killed bacteria was cause there's a lot of chlorine in it to kill bacteria, and before hand we soaked the paper towel in bacteria so it killed the bacteria from the paper towel before hand which made it very sterile.

What Kills Bacteria The Most?

1. Water
2. Bleach
3. Sanitizer
4. Nothing

The water did not remove any bacteria, bleach killed a lot of bacteria, sanitizer did not kill much, and lastly doing nothing didn't kill bacteria.

We got the bacteria from PE door handle.

Reflecting My Progress!

The three main things im proud of is my Evolution project, my Adaptive Radiation project and lastly my Pretend Organism project. I'm proud of my Evolution project because it was very interesting to do and show the teacher what we learned and I loved working in my group. I also loved doing my Adaptive Raditation project because it was very mind boggling and I enjoy that. Lastly I enjoyed my Pretend Organism project because I got to makeup different types of organism's.

My binder is very organised all the things we did earlier this semester is at the front of my binder and all the recent work is towards the back, my tests and small cut and paste projects are at the folder part of my binder and all my tests are in the other folder side. I feel like im very productive because I get all my work done.

The blog that meant the most to me was probably the Taxony post, I felt like i learned the most with this blog.

Engagement in class is very important because people learn more I bieleve, because you contribute more ideas and you interact with your peers which is always a good habit.

My goal this semester is to pass the class with a good grade and to learn a lot about biology.

Armadillo

Armadillos have shells to protect them from the sun and from other animals, an armadillo shell is made from the same material as a rock. Having a harder shell protects an armadillo more then a armadillo with a softer shell.

Armadillo

I wonder why an armadillo has a hard shell?
