Germ Theory revolutionized the medical industry and our understanding of bacteria and the human body. Presented is a series of facts and history on Louis Pasteur his discoveries and how they changed beliefs in the scientific community....

Students study Louis Pasteur and the process of pasteurization in controlling microbes. In this pasteurization lesson, students discuss microorganisms and how they can affect health. They discuss Louis Pasteur and research his work by...

Students study the discovery of pasteurization and Louis Pasteur's other contributions to science. They may be more interested in the history of pasteurization when they realize that it directly affects their lives.

Scholars explore the procedure for bacteria sampling in a virtual lab by first walking through a detailed step-by-step procedure of preparing the samples of raw milk and pasteurized milk, growing the bacteria, and comparing results....

Middle schoolers examine Louis Pasteur's contributions to science. Using the internet, they research his discovery of microorganisms. They identify the role of germs in spreading diseases and how they can prevent them by simply washing...

Students experiment with milk to understand the importance of pasteurization. In this pasteurization instructional activity, students learn background knowledge about bacteria in milk and the process of pasteurization. They complete an...

Learning about ice cream is a real treat. The 39th installment of the Crash Course Engineering playlist looks at the production of ice cream. From using centrifuges to make cream and mixing the ingredients to pasteurizing the finished...

Robert Koch and his team of scientists identified the germs that cause diphtheria, typhoid, pneumonia, gonorrhea, meningitis, whooping cough, tetanus, plague, leprosy, syphilis, and more—that's some important work! Over a period of 100...

Part two in this video series on dairy farming in Florida is here for you. More details on the processes involved in getting milk from the cows, and the process of pasteurization are presented in great detail. These two videos, in...

Five pages take biologists on a generalized survey of the origin of life. Queries are made regarding theories of how life developed, ancient Earth conditions, and the ever-changing field of taxonomy. The experiments of different...

Expose your beginning biologists to the development of cell theory and the scientists who played significant roles. The slides do not present much detail, and there are no teachers' notes to guide your lecture. Review the slides as an...

Sixth graders design and conduct an experiment with milk to investigate how temperature affects bacteria growth. They, in groups, construct a hypothesis, perform the experiment and then record and present the results.

In this chemistry worksheet, students review how chemistry has helped grow and preserve different foods. This worksheet has 11 fill in the blank, 3 multiple choice, and 6 short answer questions.

No title page for this presentation about single-celled processes and gene recombination means that your class would jump into a set of slides full of relevant and detailed information.  There are many labelled images and diagrams, which...

Highlight some of the major players and progressive inventions that shaped the latter half of the 19th century. From Thomas Edison to Vaudeville, this outline of pop and tech culture provides an American cultural context. Note: Use this...

First graders looks at germs through a microscope and identify two that can make us sick. They compare their mouth before and after they brush their teeth and practice proper hand washing techniques. They study the impact of Edward...

Seventh graders explore how milk spoils over time. In this biology lesson, 7th graders discover how pH changes as microorganisms enter the food and multiply. They explain the benefits of pasteurization process.

You are nine times more likely to die from a lightning strike than a snakebite, thanks to anti-venom. But where does anti-venom come from? Viewers follow the process of making anti-venom, beginning with the discovery of how to make it...

Corn stalks and pumpkins, caramel apples and cider, falling leaves and brisk nights. There are a few of autumn's favorite things. But how safe is that unpasteurized cider bought at the roadside stand? Young researchers investigate the...

During the first few sniffles of a cold, you can't help wondering where you picked up the illness. Watch an Ed Ted video that details the difference between miasma theory and germ theory, and the ways that Dr. John Snow's research...

Some experiments have changed society's general world view, and this video highlights three of them. Questionable methodologies used in these experiments still raise debate, but the results defined biology and led us to where we are today.

Students dramatize a two act play in which scene one depicts the story of Lazzaro Spallanzani and the second act deal with Louis Pasteur and his refutation of spontaneous generation.

Aristotle explained the idea of spontaneous generation, a concept which lasted almost 2,000 years before scientists proved it wrong. Scholars learn about the history of our understanding of the origins of life. They read examples of...

Students conduct an experiment where they will change a liquid dairy product into a solid. They review the definitions of liquids and solids. Students are given an example of each. They are divided into groups of four, each group is...
