Science Project
Topic- Germs
Title- Who gets all the Germs?
Question- Which doorknob leading in or out the biology room, has the most germs?
Hypothesis- The right outside doorknob will have the most germs, because this is only door everyone touches.
Materials-
1. Cotton swabs (4)
2. Toothpicks (4)
3. Microscope
4. Microscope slides (4) (labled with each doorknob location)
5. Cover slips (4)
6. Lugols aqueous solution
7. Agar plates (4) ( labled with each doorknob location)
8. dye
Procedure-
1. Swab a doorknob.
2. Rub that exact same swab into the correct labled agar plate.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 using different doorknob and different agar plate.
4. Let samples sit in an incubator for 60 hours at 40 degrees Celsius, to allow germs to grow.
5. Take samples out of the incubator.
6. Using a different toothpick for each agar plate take a small sample out of each agar plate and rub on the correctly labled slide.(place a drop of dye where bacteria sample was rubed)
7. Place cover slip over each slide. (where the sample was rub)
8. Place a slide on the microscope.
9. Look at the slide through the microscope
10. Make observation.
11. Record observation
Observations-
Outside Biology Room (right)-
There are many tiny bacteria and about 4 larger bacteria.
Inside Biology Room (right)-
Lots of tiny bacteria about 2 larger bacteria
Outside Biology Room (left)-
Some tiny bacteria and about 4 bigger bacteria
Inside Biology Room (left)-
Some tiny particle about 3 larger particles
Analysis of Results-
The results were surprising I did not find what I thought I would find, but I did notice that the hypothesis was right.
Conclusion-
The hypothesis was correct the door that everyone uses to enter the biology room had the most bacteria.

N.H.D. Topic Essay
My Topic Essay
For this year National History Day project my partner and I decided to create an exhibit on the “The Great Compromise” or what other people call “The Connecticut Compromise”. “The Great Compromise” was a resolution to a dispute between New Jersey and Virginia. This happened at the Constitutional convention. The Constitutional convention occurred in 1787 in Philadelphia.
I chose this topic because I am very interested in the Constitution and I knew that this was a topic I could get a lot of information on. While researching this topic I hope to find out each state view on the conflict and why did they agree on the compromise. I also would like to find out which delegates agreed with the conflict and if any who disagreed with the compromise.
My topic connects to this years theme because it talks about a conflict that occurred at the Constitutional convention and after a long debate a compromise settled the dispute. So it is a conflict and a compromise.

School Religion
I think religion in school is a touchy situation because by law you can not promote or discriminate any religion. My religion is Muslim. I think religion should be taught in school so people can understand other peoples religions. This can stop religion confrentation.
