Bacterial Growth

• Studying the effects of antibiotics on the general decrease in bacteria can be an interesting way to learn more about biology. This allows you to study which antibiotic is the most effective when destroying the bacteria that may make you sick. Study a counted amount of cultures of bacteria on a glass slide and expose them to an antibiotic. By recording the amount of cultures that have been eliminated by the antibiotic, you can deduce how effective the antibiotic is against that particular type of bacteria. Compare the results of each antibiotic test to see which one destorys the most bacteria cultures.
  
  

Cell Picture Book

• Another way to create a biology project is to write a children's picture book. Create a story based on the workings of a cell body. Illustrate each organelle and provide a summary on its workings. Summaries should be written as either a part of the story or a general description. Each illustration should be hand-drawn and colored. For a more detailed and personalized story, the characters of the story can be the teacher and agreeing members of your class. Present your children's book to the class a day or two before the exam as a method of reviewing the material.
  
  

Virus Projects

• Another educational project that can help you to better understand biology is to study viruses and diseases, and how they spread and can be controlled. Research different types of viruses and diseases and their effects. Create a diagram based on the information that you have gathered on the spread and control of the various illnesses. Each disease should be given its own part of the diagram. For a more creative project, make a PowerPoint presentation showing each disease's visible or microscopic effects. Use this presentation to describe the effects of antibiotics and antibodies on the body.
  
  

Mold Gardens

• Creating a mold garden can help you to learn about how different types of molds can form on various objects around your house. This project shows how microorganisms prefer different types of food for their growth. You can isolate mold species in the environment to grow a clean species, or a strain of mold that is not combined with another type. You can place a food source into a Petri dish with several samples of mold to see which strain conquers the others to survive. You can then study the winning mold's characteristics like growth rate, aggressiveness and its response to light.
