As part of our Assignment called “How might something small have a big impact?”, the Year 3-6 students at the Blenheim Campus have been investigating germs. 

We took some swabs from various locations around our campus and wiped them onto some agar plates.  These were then sealed up and labelled.  It didn’t take long for some germs to grow! 

Here are some photos to show the icky progress!  A very good reminder about why we should wash our hands regularly! Once we finish our experiment, the agar plates will be taken to the hospital to be incinerated.
