Can Germs Take It? (click to enlarge photo)


Fourth grade requires each student to conduct a scientific experiment and write it up. Julia selected an experiment that tested how well different disinfectants work on germ colonies. She used petri dishes to grow the cultures. We were all greatly surprised when Julia came home with the GRAND PRIZE for her classroom. We are so proud of her :-}

Julia's teacher (Mrs. Chivers) inspired her to draw these western items. Mrs. Chivers is a native Wyomingite and loves the western life style.
