Lab Reports Yea! lab reports are fun!!!!!

What’s the Problem ? Try to pick the better PROBLEM 1- How does mold grow? 2- What factors are necessary for molds to grow? The first question is too general, too many answers

What’s the Problem ? 1- Can we control the growth of bacteria? 2- How well do disinfectants control the growth of bacteria? Try to pick the better PROBLEM A yes/no answer is not a good problem. “How well…” gives us a range to look at.

What’s the Problem ? Try to pick the better PROBLEM 1- What affects the growth of yeast? 2- How does the presence of sugar or salt affect the growth of yeast? Keep the lab simple. Too many variables will make the lab go on and on and become never ending.
