Background for teacher/ videos for students
Part of Lesson Plan: How to Make LB Agar
Activity Overview / Details
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has excellent resources for teachers and students. The link I have provided is from their 2000 and Beyond: Confronting the Microbe Menace. Click on Lecture 2 - The Microbes Strike Back.
Number 5 is an excellent Demo to help students understand microbe size. I do this demo with my students rather than showing video.
Number 7 and 8 you can use as a hook for students on the number of bacteria in and outside your body.
Number 11 is a great video to show how quickly bacteria grow on a petri plate. This leads into our activity of how to make the media "food" for bacteria to grow.
