In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.

This demonstration can be used to help learners visualize DNA by lysing (breaking open) bacterial cells on a slide and “stringing up” the DNA with a toothpick in less than one minute.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, learners investigate the importance of washing their hands.

In this online simulation, learners use antibiotics to cure patients with bacterial infections.

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.

Learners design their own experiment to determine conditions that either help or hinder the decomposition of carrots by soil microbes.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete
