My science fair project is about combining different medicines to see if they would kill bacteria. How would I test this project? Would it work if I used a petri dish or what other materials to see how medicine kills bacteria.. Thank you!

Answer:

I remember back in high school I conducted an experiment involving two Petri-dishes. Both had swabs from my kitchen sink (a lot of bacteria). The difference was that I used Lysol versus Clorox.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start here. Secondly, formulate a good hypothesis and test it. For example, you can say I believe Lysol works better than "X-Brand" or "Y-Brand".

Then list the results.

I hope this helps.
