Tampa 7th Grader's Informative Science Fair Project: Student Finds Toilet Water Cleaner than Ice at Fast Food Restaurants

0547193740_bathroom_toilet_1 An inventive seventh grade middle school student in Florida came up with this hypothesis for her science fair project:

"My hypothesis was that the fast food restaurants’ ice would contain more bacteria that the fast food restaurants’ toilet water."

After testing water from the toilets and ice taken from 5 area fast food restaurants, her conclusion:

"I found that 70-percent of the time, the ice from the fast food restaurant's contain more bacteria than the fast food restaurant's toilet water."

The video of this story, carried in Tampa can be seen here.
