Microorganisms are minute organisms that are visible only with the help of a microscope. They include bacteria and other organisms like viruses and many others. In our case we will be studying the growth of bacteria. The growth of bacteria is affected by various factors which include: temperature, moisture, food and even competition from other microorganisms. If two or more bacteria share the same environment then they are likely to compete for the available resources and this will affect their growth. On the hand they could also compete amongst each other for the food and water available. In our experiment the factor to be studied is temperature and its effects on the growth of bacteria; what effect does variation of temperature have on the growth of bacteria.
