A colony is a organism living together in the same area. In this experiment, we tested how many colonies we will have in two different types of agar plates. One will be our control and treatment. As a control, we used our unwashed hands and a Q-tip to swab our hand from the bottom of the thumb to the opposite side.

Once the control and treatment were ready, we placed both agar plates to a location of 37C for 24 hours. A week later,
