In 1928, Frederick Grittith was looking at the bacteria that cause pneumonia, Streptococcus pneumoniae. Therea are two different types of this bacteria, one termed "smooth" (due to a polysaccharide capsule that encases it) and one termed "rough" (no capsule).
When he injected mice with the live harmless rough strain alone they didn't get sick and lived.
When he injected mice with the disease-causing smooth strain alone they got sick and died.
He then heated the disease causing smooth strain and injected it into the mice. Since the bacteria had been heating, its proteins were denatured and it was dead. Hence it did not cause the mouse any harm.
However, when he mixed the heat-killed disease causing smooth bacteria, with the live harmless rough bacteria and injected it, the mouse died. Confused, Griffith took a sample of the bacteria from the dead mouse and noticed that it was smooth coated. Sine the smooth coated bacteria he had injected were dead, he concluded that the live rough coated strain must have absorbed genetic material from the smooth coated strain, allowing it to now posses a smooth coat.
<span>He called this process "transformation" and the factor that caused it the "transforming factor" which was later shown to be DNA. Hope this helps!!</span>

Two other teachers in my daycare center and I have the children play outdoors at the same time. The playground is VERY crowded,
valina [46]
The first thing I would do is try organize a game possibly. A game where each round kids who win said game, get to play with toys on one side of the area, while the other kids get to sing songs, tell jokes, etc. (if they are allowed to do this)

Maybe you could create a song.
This song would remind kids to not touch each other and to not take things out of others hands.

I am unsure of the age group so my answers may not be great depending on the age, but I’m assuming they are toddlers.

Another solution is buying more toys? Although that could get pricey depending on how many kids there are. Maybe you could also have “shifts” where one group of kids goes outside and another goes in. When the group that was outside comes in, you switch. (If that makes sense.)
The kids inside could read, or sing, etc.

What is the first step to take to help reduce pollution?
tekilochka [14]

Maintain a clean and healthy home as an example for others to follow is the correct answer.

As they say every good thing or initiative starts from yourself. If you want the country to be clean and pollution free then first of all you have to stop polluting.

Obviously then the others will watch you and learn a good ting or two and follow you or get inspired by you and then stop polluting.
