For a 6th grade experiment, I'm guessing it was more likely cross contamination from something in the experiment that wasn't fully sanitized.

The micro waves would "miss" the bacteria. Look up why ants survive in the same scenario. It would need to heat up the water to boiling temp to be effective. The micro waves by themselves wouldn't do much, if anything.

[@mrbanana6464]

​@@evanfrucht "Miss" is not a great way of explaining it. The only reason ants don't heat up is because microwave beams are standing waves. This means there are "hot spots" and "cold spots" in a microwave, and ants are small enough to avoid hot spots in real experiments. Microwaves can in fact heat up ants and/or bacteria if blasted directly. They're not "too small" for the wavelength of the microwave because the microwaves are interacting with the water molecules.

This could be a pretty cool series. Kind of a mythbusters type deal on what does and does not make water safe to drink. I've heard about methods like a drop of bleach per litre of water. How much alcohol would you need to have in a liquid to kill most micro-organisms? They say people in medieval times drank beer, because the alcohol killed the germs and that made it much safer than drinking water. There's also all kinds of commercial tablets and things like carbon filters/straws out there that might be interesting to put to the test? Maybe also try some weird home remedies to see if any actually have any merit?

Despite most of the organisms theoretically dying off before the water reaches boiling point it is advised to bring water to a rolling boil for several minutes because at higher altitudes water boils at a lower temperature.

We did a similar project in school. However, instead of putting the water back in the same cup, we put a strainer on then added the water. It was clear and appeared clean, but we still weren't allowed to drink it. The school would have been liable if we had gotten sick. All in all, it was a great project.

Hi, I like your style. Quick and to the point. But now I have a challenge for you. Does a high concentration of vitamin C kill bacteria/viruses? I have been taking high dosages of Vit. C for years and it seems to work. Not like an antibiotic and not against all things, but it does seem to work on some. I'm wondering if you could take a high concentrated solution of vitamin C and see if you can see it working. Thanks.

Consuming dead water is better? Do you cook all your fruits and veggies also?

Clear is intrinsically better than unclear when it comes to most water-based situations out in nature.

Nice! Thanks! I think it would be cool to see juice squeezed from hot peppers, garlic cloves, or ginger root. What would bacteria do when it comes in contact with these or maybe just garlic if only one....?
