Steve Spangler's Growing Bacteria Science Experiment Kit

You Can Smell a Good Science Fair Project a Block Away…

Learn About Germs and Where They Can Be Found

Creating an all-inclusive science fair kit can be difficult. The project has to be simple enough for young scientists to grasp, yet the experiment needs to include the ability to be taken further. It also must be creative, interesting and age-appropriate for your child. We’ve taken all of these factors into consideration with the development of our Bacteria Growing Kit. It’s no wonder this kit is hugely popular with science-savvy parents everywhere!

It Begins With the Easy-to-Make Nutrient Agar

This is the same nutrient agar that is used by microbiologists to grow really funky stuff in the lab. Everything you need to prepare and store the bacteria comes included in our Bacteria Growing Kit: cotton swabs, petri dishes — even a microwave-safe plastic beaker. All that’s left to do is design your experiment. (Don’t worry, we’ll help you out there, too!)

What Does the Bacteria Growing Kit Teach?

Our Bacteria Growing Kit experiment allows young students to observe bacteria as it grows in a petri dish. This science experiment also offers a way for older students to explore bacteria growth — what it looks like, its growth duration and how it develops over time. This experiment also helps young scientists develop an understanding of the scientific method while learning some awesome science.
