With the drop in temperature that I feel when i go outside, I realize that bears will probably hibernate by next month.
What is a prediction

I will wash 1 hand with only regular soap at 5 different times throughout the day. I will use only germX on my other hand during those 5 times. After 30 mins. I will take a swab of my hand and stain it in a pertri dish. I will look at it under a microscope and estimate the number of germ colonies that I am witnessing.
What is step 3-design and conduct an experiment
