Elijah wanted to learn more about the growth pattern of bacteria, so he performed the following experiment.

Elijah placed four bacterial colonies in a petri dish filled with nutrient broth. Then, he incubated the dish at 37°C. He planned to make systematic observations by measuring the number of colonies every twenty minutes. The diagram below shows how the dish looked at each twenty minute interval.

Observations are pieces of information that are gathered using one of the five senses. Tools, such as metersticks, balances, and graduated cylinders, can be used to make observations in scientific investigations.

Systematic observations are observations that are obtained by following a preplanned method of observation. Elijah made systematic observations by counting the number of bacterial colonies every twenty minutes. The table that correctly records his observations appears below:

what do the different brain waves do?

explanation:

brainwaves are produced by synchronised electrical pulses from masses of neurons communicating with each other. brainwaves are detected using sensors placed on the scalp. brainwave speed is measured in hertz (cycles per second) and they are divided into bands delineating slow, moderate, and fast waves.
