A group of students wants to study the
effect of temperature on bacterial growth.
To get bacteria, they leave Petri dishes of
nutrient agar open on a shelf. They then put
the dishes in different places: an incubator
(37oC), a refrigerator (10oC), and a freezer
(0oC). Bacterial growth is measured by
estimating the percentage of each dish
covered by bacteria at the end of a 3-day
growth period.
