5th - 12th Grades

Discover the invisible world of microbes by sampling, plating, and analyzing different colonies and species of microorganisms present in your own school! The students will get a crash course in microbiology and learn about different types of salmonella’s and E coli’s that are present in the environment and on your food. Many are harmless but many can make you very sick. Additionally, the class will focus on good bacteria and yeasts that make up our food that we eat!

Class Type: Virtual Instruction + Supply Drop Off

Fee: $75 per classroom, up to 30 students

Teaching time: This will be two 45 minute classes. Two days will need to be scheduled within the week to allow the microorganisms to grow on the agar plates.
