Bennett's science project was designed to test the validity of the "3 Second Rule". This future scientist wanted to know if your food really did get more germs the longer it stayed on the floor. To test his hypothesis, Bennett dropped cookies, leaving them on the floor for various amounts of time. He then tested each cookie, swabbing it for bacteria. The swabs were put into petri dishes and set under a heat lamp to fester for 14 days. Observations were performed each day and photos taken to document the growth - or lack thereof - of the bacteria.
Germs were most certainly detected on the cookies, and interestingly enough, the cookie with the most germs was the control cookie, that was taken directly from the box and spent 0 time on the floor. Hmmmmm... This may lead to several other experiments.
