9/5/18 Project Question
Objective:
- Create a testable question as a class that will be relevant for the entire semester.
Procedure:
- As a class we discussed the many different perspectives/ directions we could take to test the presence of Arthrobacter phage in the soil of Oak trees around campus.
- It was decided that tables will split up and test their own questions, 4 different questions
- Groups 1 and 2 formed a testable question
Question:
- Do White Oak trees that have been regulated with pesticides show a difference in the amount of phages than trees who have been isolated from pesticides?
Next Steps:
- Three samples of soil will be collected from 3 different White Oak trees in Cameron Park (9/7)
- Three samples of soil, from 3 different White Oak trees on campus (in an area sprayed with pesticides) will be collected on Friday (9/7)
- Soil samples will be labeled “Soil Sample B” and placed in the fridge until Monday (9/11)
