ROUGH DRAFT
Do you know how deadly a simple bacteria or a virus can be? Are you aware of how deadly they truly are? you
should knowthat you can't always wash bacteria off with soap. They can be bad just like any other disease. Viruses aren't
just they're not what you might think they are. Bacteria isn't always just germs that get on your hand t common cold not all
viruses go away after a short period of time. Viruses seem to be deadlier.
Viruses can't be killed as easily as bacteria can . You can kill bacteria just by washing your hands with soap and water. Most viruses can't just be scrubbed off, they take antibiotics and certain medicines to kill or get rid of it. For instance cancer which is caused by viruses doesn't go away as easy as a disease caused by bacteria. With cancer you have to go through severalmedicines and antibiotics. Also, you have to make It through radiation and chemo which isn't easy and the chances of getting rid of the cancer are very low. A disease made by bacteria like typhus only lasts two to three weeks.
Viruses may last longer but bacteria is much bigger in size. The size of bacteria is 1 to 5 microns while the size of
viruses is 0.02 to 0.25 microns in diameter. Bacteria also has more ways of spreading around to different people. Bacteria can
spread by Flagella, Cilia, Through the air or person to person for instance shaking hands and hugs can spread bacteria. Viruses
can be spread through the air or person to person if they are contagious. newspapers say that bacteria can also cause deadly
outbreaks on human skin. Lots of viruses are in need of cures and bacteria doesn't have as much. Viruses kill people each day like again
cancer they haven't found a permanent cure for it and it kills many people each day. Viruses devastate humans and make
them miserable over and over again. They can make you watch people die and want to do something but know that your
hopeless and that you can't help them (unless your a doctor). Viruses can kill double the amount of people in the process
because just to see a family member in pain can practically kill you. Bacteria may be just as bad but it's not as horrid as
viruses in any way accept that it can kill people to. Not all of bacteria has a cure either, in some ways bacteria might be just
as deadly. After all of this viruses definitely win. In many ways they are more deadly than bacteria. But that's just what we've
concluded from all this.
Even though Bacteria seems to be very close to viruses in the long run. In many ways bacteria could be just as
deadly. They both kill they both still are looking for cures and they both are deadly for anyone. the fact that most people
don't know how deadly they are makes them even more deadly. Viruses and bacteria are no joke, they can get to you just
by a hand shake or a friendly hug. But the Internet and facts have proved that viruses have bacteria beat by a landslide.
Even though bacteria can be deadly, viruses are worse. They hope you learned something new about them today. The truth is
viruses have won the battle against bacteria they are definitely deadlier than bacteria. Thank you for reading this article.
FINAL COPY
Deadly Debate A simple viruses can be very deadly. Most people are unaware of how deadly they are. They can be bad just like
any other disease. Viruses aren't what humans might think they are. Illnesses like the cancer prove that not all viruses go
away after a short period of time. Viruses are deadlier than bacteria. Reasons for this are viruses can't be scrubbed away
they have to have medicine subscribed from a doctor, viruses can spread easily, and viruses kill people each day.
Viruses can't be killed as easily as bacteria can . You can kill bacteria just by washing your hands with soap and
water. Most viruses can't just be scrubbed off, they take antibiotics and certain medicines to kill or get rid of it. For instance
cancer which is caused by viruses doesn't go away as easy as a disease caused by bacteria. With cancer you have to go
through several medicines and antibiotics. Also, you have to make It through radiation and chemo which isn't easy and the
chances of getting rid of the cancer is very low. A disease made by bacteria like typhus only lasts two to three weeks therefore
proving that viruses last longer than bacteria.
Viruses can spread easily from person to person. Especially in different times of the year when they are most
common. The common cold spreads mostly in winter because it's cold outside. That's why it is called the common cold. When
it's time viruses can jump from person to person killing there cells in the process. Viruses Reproduce new cells which eventually
will spread more and more cells to different people. Viruses spread worldwide and kill people each day.
There are more viruses out there than viruses that harm people. Lots of viruses are in need of cures and
bacteria doesn't have as much. Viruses kill people each day like cancer which they haven't found a permanent cure for it and
it kills many people each day. Viruses devastate humans and make them miserable over and over again. They can make you
watch people die and want to do something but know that your hopeless and that you can't help them (unless you're a
doctor). Viruses can kill double the amount of people in the process because just to see a someone in pain can practically kill
you. Therefore viruses are deadlier than bacteria.
Well some humans out there may still believe bacteria is deadlier then viruses. In some ways those humans are
right. Here are some reasons why bacteria could be deadlier than viruses. First, bacteria is bigger than a viruses and
therefore could take out bigger things in the process. Second, Bacteria in some ways can also kill people every day. Lastly,
Bacteria can cause deadly outbreaks on human skin. Viruses are proved to be deadlier than bacteria. Viruses do not go away as easy as bacteria. Viruses also
spread easily throughout humans. Lastly viruses kill people everyday. Viruses are definitely deadlier than bacteria. Even
though some humans think bacteria is deadlier. Bacteria could be deadlier but most people believe that viruses are proved to
be deadlier.

Explain how you tell if resources for your project are reliable. (Websites, books, newspapers, magazines, etc.)(Reliability can be determined by currency, credibility, authority, etc. depending on curriculum topic)
I used the website “NCWISEOWL.ORG” for my eighth grade exit project. I know that “NCWISEOWL.ORG” is reliable because it gives you the date each article was published and written.
How were websites and information relevant for your project?
The websites I used are relevant to my project because the information given was reliable.
The websites gave me the information I needed in order to complete this this project. They gave me true facts to use in the project and to write about. They told me all the things I needed to know about bacteria and viruses.
How do you evaluate resources for point of view , bias, values, or intent of information?
I evaluated my resources by reading articles and using many sources in order to determine what was a fact. I made sure to use reliable and relevant websites instead of using blogs or .com sites to get information. I was sure to read over every important detail in an article to make sure nothing sounded surreal.
How did you work on your project with other students. How were they involved with your project?
I worked with others students when they needed help and when I needed help they worked with me. If they found a good cite they would tell me to go check it out. If I happened to find a good cite I would tell them about it. We worked together through peer editing and correcting there papers to make them better.
5.How did you work on the project independently? (By yourself)
I worked on this project independently for the majority of the time. I researched information on websites and put the information into my own words. I typed the story on a computer independently and used information I already had to write the article. I also found the information that I needed all by myself.
Explain ethical behavior (copyright, not plagiarizing, netiquette) when using resources. How did you use resources and use them correctly, so that you didn't violate any copyright laws?
After I got my information from a website or an article I would be sure to cite all of my work. I used their information and put it into my own words in my own article. I was sure not to copy and paste from the articles I used to get information. I made sure I gave credit to the people who well deserved it for helping me write my article.
How do you use safety precautions when using online resources (personal information, passwords,m etc.) What precautions did you take to protect you and your work when using the computers and online resources?
I was very smart about not telling people my username and password that went to my wikispace. I also know that my teacher and I are the only ones who know the password to my account on the computer. I made sure to log out of my account on the computer after every use.
What technology did you use to complete the project?(computer, websites, wiki, etc.)
The technology that I used was a net book computer. I also used wikispaces in order to upload all of my work onto my wiki. NCWISEOWL.ORG was a big help in the writing of my article.
