Bacterial Pets Update

February 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Yogi was a let down. It didn’t grow anything. I was expecting it to be a giant bacterial monster struggling to get out of the petri dish. Instead I found nothing more than what I swabbed on the dish plus a stink. All of the pets really stink. I should have something something else to test. Spoiled milk, eew!

Today was this Fun-Run for Track to raise money. It’s supposed to be fun, but it really isn’t. You’re supposed to run for an hour and get people to pay you per lap. I thought I was going to run with some of my friends, but they just walked.  I got pretty bored with that so I decided to walk the straightaway and sprint the curves to work on my form. I got 14 laps in. I really think I got a work out, but perhaps I went too hard because my shins are hurting really bad! I just hope I don’t get stress fractures [again] because I feel like I’m getting a start on a good season.

Wish I had a drawing to share today. I could make one but I have loads of homework to do.

Bacterial Pets!

February 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment

So for my Bio IB class I had to design my own lab using four petri dishes. I won’t go into details but I tested four different milk products: milk, yogurt, sour cream, and panela. I left them in the classroom over the weekend. They’re my new pets: bacteria colonies!

I think I’m actually looking forward to Monday so I can check on my pets. I should come up with a name for them.  Hmmm…

Yogurt colony: Yogi

Milk colony: Cowapunga

Sour cream colony:  Cookies n’ cream

Panela colony: Pamela Anderson
