Question: (affect, effect, relates to) how does Sodium chloride, and magnesium sulfate affect the growth
of the bacteria of the floor.
Rationale: I think that it will help people to know if salt kills bacteria because if it does, then it can help people kill
the bad bacteria's that make viruses and make people get sick.
What we know from our research: We learned that we are not the first person to test this. We also learned that salt
kills most bacteria. And that it depends on what b

Conclusion
our original hypothesis was salt kills some types of bacteria, one way we know it is wrong is that looking
at our petri dishes the regular cooking salt that killed bacteria, but the Magnesium Sulfate made the
bacteria grow better. We think this happened because Magnesium Sulfate has some healing properties.
Another interesting that that happened was that the normal cooking salt killed bacteria when we thought it
would help it grow. I think this was because it turns out from our research it turns out regular salt kills \
Conclusion
what our Bacteria looks like when done. our bacteria's final look.
