I'm growing bacteria and after 3 weeks of putting them under the microscope, there are going to quite a few bacterias in there, but how do i indentify bacteria. how can i tell it's good or bad. is there some kind of bacteria indentification thing i look at that's visual or a least describes common bacteria? I'm testing to see what's worse, the staff washroom or high school girls washroom. need help!

have you ever heard of disentary, E. coli or cholera. All of these bacteria are spread by inapropriate sanitation. So be very carefull
It is highly likely that E. coli will be on your growth media I would seriously talk to your teacher just like everyone is saying. you could get very sick.

I would seriously talk to your biology teacher as soon as possible. You could be growing bacteria which are capable of being used in germ warfare!! Where I live students are not allowed togrow bacteria from such places, only some food stuffs, as these are safer.

You should do that under appropriate supervision - you could end up getting a nasty staph infection or something worse.
