I tried that. I can’t eat that!

What’s that for?

A correctly written hypothesis is this.

A 100

What is a specific statement of what you think will

happen?

A100

The 6th grade students were each given an assignment to plan an experiment on

microorganisms that they could do at home. Roah wants to find out if light affects mold growth.

For his experimental plan he wrote that he would place a slice of bread in a zip lock bag and put it

in a warm, light place. He would then place a 2nd slice of bread in another zip lock bag and place it

in the refrigerator. After a few days of observations, he would write his conclusion.

This experiment would not be valid because of this.

A200

What is he can only change one variable? (Either the

light or the temperature. Not both.)

A 200

Kaleb wants to find out if Euglena need light to survive. He decides to take water samples from dark places in local ponds and check to see if

Euglena are present in them. Kaleb could improve this experiment by doing this.

A 300

What is taking samples from the light areas of the pond?

A 300

“What are three ways that protozoa move?” is not a

question that can be answered by an experiment because of

this.

A 400

What is there is no way to change a variable? (This is

an observation.)

A 400

The foods listed below were left in plastic bags in a warm

container for 5 days. The following data was taken.

Bread-covered with black, fuzzy mold

Banana- slimy, black, turning to liquid

Hamburger-turned brown, smelly

Cheese-has white and green coating

This hypothesis was tested by this experiment.

A 500

What is “different foods will decay differently”?

Karanda wants to start a cheese manufacturing plant. These microorganisms would be useful to her as she makes

cheese.

B 100

What are bacteria and fungus?

B 100

It is risky to leave leftovers out on the table for several

hours and then eat them because of this.

B 200

What is bacteria begin to grow on the food and can

make you sick?

B 200

Joslyn went to get an apple out of the refrigerator. When

she opened the crisper she saw that one of the apples

was all soft, discolored and rotten. This microorganism most likely caused the apple

to rot.

B 300

What is a bacteria or a fungus?

B 300

Yeast changes bread dough because of this.

B 400

What is the bubbles of gas from the yeast that form in

the dough?

B 400

Tallon works for a cheese manufacturing plant. His job is to check the progress of the cheese as it cures. He knows that the microorganisms used in the cheese-making process take

time to mature. His observations helped him to create the chart below.

As Tallon checked four batches at different places in the plant, he observed and recorded the following:

Batch A: Firm texture, sharp taste.Batch B: Rubbery texture, mild taste.

Batch C: Firm texture, sharp taste, and rancid odor.Batch D: Firm texture, mild taste.

Three hours-curds form

24 hours-rubbery stage

72 hours-firm stage, mild flavor

1000 hours-firm stage, sharp flavor

1500 hours-firm stage, sharp flavor, rancid odor

According to the chart, this batch of cheese had cured the shortest amount of time. 

B 500

What is Batch B?

B 500

Adding microorganisms to sewage water, then bubbling oxygen through it to provide

them with good living conditions allows the

microorganisms to do this.

C 100

What is remove harmful bacteria?

C 100

A good way to use microorganisms as a

decomposer would be to do this.

C 200

What is use it in a compost pit. (place where organic materials become soil)

C 200

The 6th grade students were given an assignment to prepare an experiment on microorganisms at home that they could

share with the class. Bayli grew mold on potato slices in four different

temperatures. She carefully recorded her date, took pictures of the growth and wrote a complete conclusion.Wyatt grew fungi on bread; he tested the effects of the

amount of moisture on the growth of fungi. He explained to the class what he had learned with the help of a graph.

Jenna wanted to test different foods to see which one would grow fungi best. She wrote a hypothesis and carefully

monitored he project and recorded her data. She explained to the class which food worked best.

Enzo wanted to test whether fungi would grow better in a dark area or a light one. He wrote a problem, did research,

wrote a hypothesis and procedure, kept data and wrote a conclusion.

The students were trying to answer this question.

Caden wonders if a certain bacteria can survive being frozen. This could be his

hypothesis.

C 500

What is “If bacteria are frozen, they will die.”

C 500

Protozoa can do this, but fungi cannot.

D 100

What is move by themselves?

D 100

Paramecium use this to move.

Marely saw some amoeba through her microscope. She

knew they could move because they had this.

D 300

What are pseudopods?

A scientist received several samples of pond water from an uninhabited area; in the sample there were several

new species of protozoa. He knew that they could move

because they had this.

D 400

What are flagella?

D 400

The presence of this proves that microscopic fossils could

move.

D 500

What are flagellum, cilia, and pseudopods?

This is the cause of strep throat.

What is bacteria?

Kylee decided to try an experiment with bacteria. During the experiment four bacterial cultures were used. The first (control) was allowed to grow undisturbed. The

second was treated with Penicillin, the third was treated with soap and water, and the fourth was treated with

rubbing alcohol. She graphed the growth of each culture.In this experiment, this treatment was most successful in

controlling bacterial reproduction.

Zion was watching microorganisms move through a microscope. She wanted to get a good grade on her

written description of her observations. To get all of the points possible she needed to use scientific language in her description to her classmates. Look at the following sentence that she wrote as she watched a Euglena move

across the slide.

“A long thin pointy creature with a single hair-like tail wiggled its tail and pushed itself across the view area of

the microscope several times.”

The clearest statement of what she saw is this.
