You are a field researcher for the CDC. You and your lab partner have been sent to an area to quantitatively analyze a set of samples believed to contain pathological bacterial contaminants.
On a separate sheet of paper, write (NEATLY) or type the procedure you used to quantitatively analyze the given bacterial suspension. Include steps in the procedure and materials used (5.5 pts). Be organized, logical, and neat in documentation of this information.
Write your results. Show your work. No Work No Credit (1.5 pts).
Total Count = _________
Viable Count = _______
% Viability = _______
The amount of 250 CFU per 0.01 ml is considered harmful to humans and other animals. If your sample contains close to or more than an excessive amount of bacterial contaminant, what can be done to decrease the numbers of bacteria without harming humans or animals (3pts). How would you know if your method of decreasing the numbers of this potentially harmful bacteria? * Hint* What needs to decrease? Total Count or Viable Count? Why?

Background:
You are a CDC (Center for Disease Control) researcher studying
malaria. Your goal is to understand the evolution of malaria in
order to be able to possibly predict where a future outbreak may
be. To do this you will be using information from the evolution of
the pathogen, the host, and changes in the environment. Topics to
think about include:
What is the evolutionary origin of human malaria? (hint: think
about host-pathogen cospeciation or host shift)
What could you...

Pretend you and your lab partner are designers for the PhET
simulations and want to make a simulation for students to
investigate gravity fields. Think about what you know about gravity
and what kinds of experiments a student might want to do to learn
about gravity. You may have to refresh your memory by using the
text. Draw a design, by hand, for a gravity simulation. Explain why
you included each component and explain at least one experiment
that a...
