Intro to Microbiology

We’re back with another resource in our “Intro to” series that takes high level science and makes it doable for middle school and early high school! Intro to Microbiology opens the doors to the fascinating world that is invisible to the naked eye. 

Students will:

• learn to identify the parts of a microscope and its history

• learn to prepare various slides

• use the scientific method to complete labs

• write up labs and create their own experiments

• complete 6 different labs where they’ll see really cool things under the scope!

• explore animal and plant cells

• learn cell theory

• engage in on theme art activities

• use geography to explore microscopic differences

• use creative writing to explore the theme

• use personification with microbes

• and of course - much more!

This 80+ page resource is a fantastic introduction to microbiology aimed at ages 12-16. Use your discretion for your own children. You’ll need a microscope for the 6 labs but the rest of the activities can be done sans microscope. I’ve included a good selection of activities that are family friendly and scalable for younger students as well. 

Timeline: 18 lessons - recommended 3x a week for 6 weeks
