Best Answer

Boil ¼ cup of water. Add one teaspoon of Gelatin and one teaspoon of

sugar. Stir for one minute until everything is dissolved.

2. Cool the solution for ten minutes.

3. Fill a petri dish to a little below the top edge.

4. Close the petri dish by putting on the cover immediately. Let the

covered petri dish stand for at least four hours. Don't touch the

growth medium or you'll add your own germs!

This recipe will fill two, small petri dishes. If you and your class plan to fill

more petri dishes, make more germ food by increasing the amount of your

ingredients proportionally.

If you add the blood to the media before it is cooled ie if the media is hot, you will make chocolate agar plates instead of blood agar plates.
