Contact Name: Jennifer Planella (Jennifer_Planellas@enumclaw.wednet.edu)

School: Enumclaw

Date Completed: Spring 2003

Details:

Large, well-scaled display boards depicting various rooms in a home were used as background and changed as needed as two students presented a mock television report on comparison studies of "green" cleaners versus "chemical" cleaners. Four students appeared on the "program" as scientists to describe the various testing methods and conclusions from the study. The group had cleaned areas, swabbed the cleaned places for bacteria and then compared bacterial growth in agar in order to evaluate the cleaners.
