Human Papillomavirus: Investigating the Prevention, Transmission, and Treatments of a Viral Infection
Tenth graders explore the different health risks associated with human papillomavirus. In this health science lesson, 10th graders identify different ways to prevent viral and bacterial infection. They research and develop an awareness...
NOAA
Watch the Screen!
Can a sponge cure cancer? Life science pupils visit the drugstore under the sea in the fifth lesson of six. Working groups research the topic then get hands-on experience by testing the inhibiting effects of several plant extracts on E....
Curated OER
Bacterial Roles
Young scholars study bacteria and the role it plays in the ecosystem. In this bacteria lesson students research the roles bacteria has and submit a chart.
Curated OER
Bacterial Transformation Kit
Students participate in an experiment in which they practice moving genes from one organism to another. They examine the results of a recombination of jellyfish. They identify different types of bacteria as well.
Curated OER
BACTERIAL GROWTH ON FOOD
Students address the question of the value of refrigeration in keeping food (chicken) from "spoiling". They experiment with aseptic technique skills in handling sterile water and some type of quoting system.
Curated OER
Bacterial Transformation
Students explore DNA recombination. In this biology lesson, students observe the growth of microscopic species. They predict the phenotype of the transformed colonies.
Curated OER
Viewing Bateria
Students use microscopes to observe E. coli bacateria on prepared slides and in a live culture. They use micro-slide viewers to observe the shapes of various bacteria and the structures within the bacterial cell. Students make an...
Curated OER
How Can We Live Here? Life In Extreme Environments
Students explore the limits of life on Earth to extend their beliefs about life to include its possibility on other worlds. They investigate three hypothetical environments and the bacterial life forms that could exist on Earth.
Curated OER
Determining the Effectiveness of Handwashing
Students participate in an experiment in which they grow bacterial colonies. They examine the effects of antibiotics killing the germs. They discuss their findings to end the lesson.
Curated OER
On the Microbe Trail: An Introduction to Bacteria and Aseptic Technique
Tenth graders predict the conditions necessary for bacterial growth, test their predictions and at the same time practice the aseptic techniques and safety procedures needed when working with bacteria.
Curated OER
What Does My Bacteria Look Like?
High schoolers identify Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria using staining techniques. Students research importance of identification of bacterial types in diagnosing bacterial diseases.
Curated OER
Anthrax Attacks
Students develop an understanding about the disease Anthrax, how it is transmitted, and its effects on the body. They use this online instructional activity to research the disease and its impact on human health. Students gain...
Curated OER
Simulation of Gene Splicing
Students simulate gene splicing by examining bacteria. They create a bacterial DNA into which they insert the human DNA (gene) that codes for growth hormone. They cut the sites of the enzyme to study how the human DNA can be joined to...
Curated OER
Two Kingdoms of Bacteria
In this bacterial growth activity, students conduct an experiment on how temperature affects bacterial growth between a jar placed in the refrigerator and another in a warm place. They also describe what they would infer was the primary...
Curated OER
Chemosynthesis in the Classroom
Students observe the development of chemosynthesis in bacterial communities. In this bacteria instructional activity students explore that chemosynthesis is and how it is relevant to biological communities.
Curated OER
Create a microbe
Learners explore viruses and bacteria. They construct three dimensional models of microorganisms recognizing size relationships by comparing the size of viruses with the sizes of bacterial cells.
Curated OER
Body Defense and Disease
In this body defense and disease worksheet, students complete two multiple step questions about infectious diseases and how they are passed.
Curated OER
Viruses and Bacteria
In this viruses and bacteria activity, students will read information comparing the characteristics of bacteria and viruses. Then students will match 8 statements as either describing a virus or a bacteria.
Curated OER
What Color is Your Colony?
Learners conduct an experiment to change the color of E. coli bacteria using genetic engineering. They work in small groups to add a plasmid containing a gene for red pigment to the bacteria and culture the bacteria to see if it ...
