Students will dive into the fascinating world of parasitology as they collaborate in teams of three to analyze and evaluate the presence of parasites. The lesson aims to enhance both teamwork and practical laboratory skills while deepening students' understanding of parasitic detection methods.
Each team will be assigned the task of preparing detailed slides to examine fecal smears and conduct simple flotation tests. The students will follow laboratory protocols to create the slides using a specific pattern. The fecal smear and simple flotation techniques are important tools in identifying parasites within biological samples.

The students receive a sample population of "bears" and use the colors and ratios to determine the genotypes of the captive bears and their parents.
This lesson has an inquiry hands-on approach, students design a protocol to isolate microbes and test how efficient their method is by comparing with the class results. This is presented under the
