Petrie Plates\Growing Bacteria Updated


I am putting some pictures on (there are a ton) and I hope that if you have done some your Plates have sprouted things as well as Printer Thing and Kitchen Window. I think that the reason why Toilet Door Handle was the worst is because people have just washed there hands before the leave, for Kitchen Floor maybe the floor had just been mopped! Well don't really know what to write, here are the pictures:

Petri Plates\Growing Bacteria Experiment


There are two kinds of my entry, the top one is slangish (Yo bro, innit fun, wassup!, innit blood) and the bottom
one is more what my Dads expectation is.

A longish time ago I want'ed t' do an experiment but it took ages to find one and when Dad finally did I had to nag him for ages and ages and ages and ages and ages and ages and ages and ages and ages since like the 6th until we finally got round to doing it. We have started doing the Homemade Petri Plates experiment but I don't know whether we have done it well so far. Well basically the experiment is making bacteria grow so you can see it.

 You do this mixture of a stock cube, plain gelatine or agar agar, water and sugar and put it at the bottom of disposable containers put it in the fridge or somethin' and well after an age take it out and rub the um... bacteria on and wait another age until you can see the bacteria and... ya.  Just in case you do, don't try this recipe because I was tired and definitely got some of the things wrong so these are two websites that definitely got it right:

Quite a time ago I wanted to do an experiment but it took a very long time to find one and when Dad finally did I had to nag him for a really, really long time probably since the 6th until we finally got round to doing it. We have started doing the Homemade Petri Plates Experiment or Growing Bacteria Experiment but I don't know whether we have done it well so far. Well the experiment is making bacteria grow so you can see it.

Mix together a stock cube, plain gelatine or agar agar, water and sugar and put it at the bottom of disposable containers. Put it in the fridge and after a long time take it out and rub the bacteria on. Wait another long time until you can see the bacteria and that's that.  Just in case you do, don't try this recipe because I was tired and definitely got some of the things wrong so these are two websites that definitely got the things correct: http://kitchenpantryscientist.com/?p=931 and http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/experiments/breedingbacteria.html




COOKIES

On Monday (GUY FAWKES DAY 2012) I went to my sisters and my friends house she gave me a Jacqueline Wilson official mag which has lots of extras witch include an extra magazine with lots of recipes we (which means my sister and I) cooked a basic cookie mix with melted chocolate in the shape of a muddy paw print. We did two batches the first had 90% cocoa chocolate (but my sister added some sugar) the second batch had chili chocolate but most of the cookies went without chocolate. I did a few biscuits with faces insted of paw-prints. To make the paw prints you used the ball of your thumb as the big paw pad and you use the back of your wooden spoon for the (I wrote 'I dont k' but erased it) small bits so basically you make the holes using those things put in oven to bake for about fifteen minutes. If ready take out then do press the holes again this time instead of putting your thumb use the back of a teaspoon then use some chocolate to drip in the holes.



This has been in drafts for an age!

Sushi: 'mmmmmm'

Today me my mum and sister decided to make sushi, well actually we decided to make a few days ago so we got the ingredients and made it today. Do you like Sushi, well I do :) Soon after we woke up we started cooking the rice, I had to shower which was kind of good because I did not have to wait for the boring bits to be done while mum nagged me :) When I had finally gotten out of the shower most of the things were ready except the salmon, tuna, carrot and (or?) seaweed. I cut the salmon and carrot, put the mayonnaise in the tuna and for fun made ridges in the cucumber. The two things that my sister (J Milly) and mum (Z\Zed) found\looked for while I was in the shower are seaweed and the sushi mat. I liked salmon and tuna topping-ed sushi more than the chicken flavoured ones.  What sushi do you like? I am writing this like an email aren't I? J Milly is awesome at making sushi but my Mum is better.
