essay allweekend long.Now it was eleven o'clock on Sunday night.He was giving his work a final proofread,checking fortypos and misspelled words.  \nMike's assignment was to write an essay that wouldfit the theme“Great Moments in Science.”His teacher,MrSamms,was going to enter the essays in a student essaycontest sponsored by the local newspaper.The ownerof the newspaper would give the winner a cash prize.Ifanyone from his class won,Mr.Samms promised to rewardthat student with extra credit for the grading period.  \nMike really wanted to win.He had never been a greatwriter.This time,though,he had a good feeling about hisessay.For the first time,he had written something he wasreally excited about.He knew his mother would be veryhappy to see a really good grade if he got the extra credit.Most importantly,Mike wanted to prove that if he put hismind to it,he could write something great.  \nMike was incredibly excited about his researchtopic.In school they were studying disease control.He'd learned about medicines called antibiotics thatwere of vital importance in killing the kinds of bacteriathat made people sick.Mr.Samms told the class that thefirst antibiotic was named penicillin.It was named thatbecause it was made from a mold called Penicilliumnotatum.  \nMike became intrigued.When Mike thought of mold,he pictured the fuzzy green stuff that grew on bread whenit got too old.He remembered opening a container ofold leftovers that had been in the refrigerator for morethan a week.The food was covered in the green growth.His mom made him throw out the moldy food because itwould make him sick if he ate it-not that he wanted toanyway!He wanted to learn more about this interestingphenomenon -how could something that made you sickalso help cure some sicknesses?He read a few books andbecame increasingly fascinated by what he found out.  \nMike learned that penicillin had been discovered in1929 by a Scottish research scientist and doctor namedAlexander Fleming.One Friday,Dr.Fleming's sink waspiled high with dishes.Some of the dishes containedold samples of bacteria that Dr.Fleming had beenexperimenting with.Dr.Fleming left for the weekend,leaving the dishes in the sink and the window near thesink open.When he returned,he noticed a blui","cbCaioVLHMsOfBJN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioVLHMsOfBJN","pdf",4058271,28,"English","#
