I really don't know what I am going to do. I really am enjoying the physiology unit so probably something to do with that. BTW how are u finding unit 1? There is just too much to learn in it i think!!

Thanks that good to know!! 
So u r into cell biology then?? 
I prefer biology to do with animals and humans and even plants. Cell biology isn't really my favourite. Lucky for me it seems to be the longest unit! LOL!

There is tons to learn in Unit 1. Way too much. Doesn't help that my teacher for part of it thought Human biology so just assumes we all know that.
I think I'm doing an environment one but it may yet change.

i'm agreeing with the mass of stuff there is to learn, mega shock!
i think for my investigation i'm doing the rates of different species of seaweed drying out. no one has done an out door project before in my school, so i'm being a pioneer! haha!

You're a pioneer species!!
Ok. Bad joke. Really bad joke. *hides under rock*
I think one on pioneer species would be fun but it's too cold to go down the beach this time of year and I can't think of anywhere else it would be possible to do.

Hey Will_789! Just read that you're doing a project on natural remedies on bacterial growth. I'm doing shampoos and their effect on bacterial growth. My teacher has asked me to try and find a bacteria to use that will be easy to grow and effective, can I ask which one you are using for your project?
p.s. i never thought i'd be asking that question, "what kind of bacteria are you deciding to grow?" hehe!

I'm not doing that question but I've grown strains of E-coli before, they aren't too difficult. But you might want one that can be related to your hair so you can make a point to your investigation.
Appartently I'm now doing my investigation during the Christmas holidays. And then storing earth in the fridge until the testing kit comes. And I somehow have to get about 20 bags of soil and cores into school, along with bringing back all the kit I used. Eeep.

have done my first batch of ecoli strands and you were right, they do grow very quickly and very easily. what have i found so far....? that men's shampoo is not very good at killing bacteria, whereas women's shampoo is excellent! lol!
hope the weather has improved and ur investigation is going well.
