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.
