* I wasn’t sure how to do the colony count or the average colony size.*
1. What was the purpose of this experiment? (refer to your hypothesis)
• The purpose of this experiment was to determine if the amount of heat the microwave provides affects the bacteria that is grown.
2. What was the independent variable in this experiment (what did you change)?
• The independent variable in this experiment was the amount of heat each petri dish received.
3. What were two of the controlled variables in this experiment (what was the same for all dishes)?
• The two controlled variables in this experiment was the bacteria that was used, and the incubator (dark warm place) where all four petri dishes stayed overnight in.
4. Describe your choice of bacterial
