In reply to Julie Simmons. You can leave them displayed for a while, but it is bacteria, and will continue to grow, and eventually break down. Then you can change it out later with the pictures.

I’m putting together a biology display case and plan on using these plates in it (I know very little about biology). Question: Can I leave these plates in the display case after the bacteria has grown? I plan on super gluing the lids just in case. I would hate to walk in one day and find one of the dishes has blown its’ lid!! There is no direct light into the case. If they need to be disposed of, I *plan* on taking photos to post in the case to replace. However, I think it will create a much better visual if I can leave the dishes in the case.

In reply to Tina. If you open the petrie dishes, you are opening up bacteria, etc.. At this point I would wear gloves and a mask. You can do scrapings and look under a microscope or you can get a newer digital version microscope for looking at larger items, it's more handheld, or use a high power magnifying glass.

Hi I have a question I bought this for my 6 year old who loves science what do we do with the plates after the experiment is done and how do we look at them under the scope do I use a tool to scoop on a slide thank you
