On Friday, September 27th<\/sup>, I went to Clarke\nCentral High School during their last period to assist AP Environmental\nstudents in the antibiotic resistance lab. Two other girls in this Biology\nclass and I worked with a group of 6 students to count the number of colonies\non each of the plates. We showed the students how to count them, explained what\na colony was and looked like, and described what we were actually doing. Our\nsoil sample was actually collected by one of the high school girls in our\ngroup, which she found in her backyard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we first separated the plates into Set 1 and Set 2, we\nnoticed that Set 1 did not have a sufficient number of colonies on the plates\nand that maybe people in our biology class plated them wrong. The second set,\nhowever, had more visible colonies that were actually countable. We gave each\nof the high school students a plate and a marker to count the number of\ncolonies, which they then would write the plate description and number of\ncolonies on a piece of paper. To ensure accuracy, we would then switch the\nplates between the students so that each plate was counted twice. These numbers\nwere then reported to the one student who entered the data into the spreadsheet\nand website. I felt more knowledgeable this time around, compared to when we\ncounted them in class because I wasn\u2019t sure what to count as a colony and what\nwe were actually finding from all this counting. Now, I could actually explain\nto the students what we were doing and the effect of the antibiotics on the\nsoil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I think this experience was a lot of fun- I met two\ngirls who I helped count plates with while they asked me about college life. I\nwas a little surprised when I walked into this AP Environmental Science class,\nmainly because they all looked younger, like freshmen and sophomores, whereas\nat my school you had to be a junior or senior to take this course. Some of the\nstudents seemed more interested in counting the plates than others, but\noverall, I think that the students enjoyed having college kids from a big\nschool like UGA come into their classroom to help. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
