My Project

My students are going to conduct their end of year science experiments on many different topics in the Living Environment. There are some materials that we do need for our scholars that wanted to test the influence of antibiotic on bacteria resistance and possible solution, while other group would like to test different antibiotic (laboratory grade vs. natural) on bacteria growth. While different groups of scholars would like to test their homemade sun screen on protecting sensitive yeast against harmful U.V. light. Please accept funding this project so my scholars able to conduct their investigation and learn from doing in the science.
