Food borne illness story

Part of Lesson Plan: Introduction to Micro-organisms and Foodborne Illness

Activity Overview / Details

Students come into this lesson with some prior knowledge about food safety and prevention of foodborne illness by reading chapter 2 in the ProStart Year 1 text.  This lesson follows up the reading to give them an understanding of specific microorganisms that they may have never heard of. 

I start the lesson with a quick musical video to get them into the mood of the micro-world.  Two options are given below.
