for any poor soul who needs to find the 9 mistakes

Labeled the top of the agar plate rather than the bottom.
Did not keep the cotton tip of the swab sterile.
Did not orient the swab correctly when selecting a single bacteria colony from the stock culture plate.
Did not spread the bacteria colony evenly over the agar plate to create a lawn of growth.
Did not discard the swab in the waste container.
Moved the disc after it fell on the agar plate.
Placed a disc too close to the edge of the plate so it was not possible to measure the diameter of the zone of inhibition.
Dropped a disc on the benchtop.
Did not space the discs evenly on the agar plate.

Thanks for not rushing through but putting it in simple and understandable terms. And that yellow glove scientist I found humorous though important as these are mistakes we could make but now we are alerted to be careful. thank you again and please keep helping students like us.

I like the idea of including food colouring, that's a great teaching trick to show the concentration gradient! I think my students sometimes struggle with visualizing this with a verbal explanation alone.
