Photo 2: Cap should be removed so it doesn't touch the pipette tip.

Photo 3: Plate should be held away from the face. Person is breathing on the plate and contaminating the plate.

Photo 4: Gouging the agar surface.

Photo 5: Streaking the lid.

Photo 6: Do not touch the pipette down by the mouth of the pipette. If you need to steady your hand, steady it at the top and not at the bottom.
