Predicting Growth

This innovative lesson plan promotes active learning and utilizes the scientific method to teach students about predicting microbial growth and interpreting results. It is adaptable and includes safety measures such as the use of goggles and gloves, and emphasizes the importance of proper decontamination techniques. The plan encourages discussions on various biological concepts and can be enhanced with modifications like bacterial transformation experiments. Use resources from the Human Microbiome Project to engage students in real-world applications of microbiology.
