Science in the Real World: Microbes in Action

activities

The Science in the Real World: Microbes in Action website is a resource for K-12 teachers. It has classroom activities for all levels, which look easy to do and use readily available materials, as well as tips and techniques for preparing baterial cultures. We're going to try preparing petri dishes using "agar" made from gelatin and beef bullion this week. (So far we haven't gotten any growth on dishes we made last week using a recipe of flavored Jello and Slim Fast...)

The website comes from the University of Missouri in St. Louis.
