Abstract
Through problems that arise in contexts outside of mathematics, students are provided with rich opportunities to hypothesize, investigate, and analyze real-life phenomena. The particular connection in this activity is from the biological sciences to mathematics. Students will consider what would happen if Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria were allowed to grow unchecked in the absence of death. Starting with one E. coli cell, students will calculate the time, in hours, it would take to fill a room with the bacteria.
