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 learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this long-term activity, learners make a home for a colorful community of microorganisms.

In this activity, learners will conduct an experiment to discover methods of reventing foot mold growth on food.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

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.

In this lab, learners evaluate the relative effectiveness of various chemical substances (i.e. garlic powder, bathroom cleaner, mouthwash, etc.) as antimicrobial agents.

In this activity about food safety and nutrition, learners investigate safe food preparation by making fruit ice cream.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.
