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.
