Microbial Serial Dilutions
This lesson is part of a project to isolate bacteria from soil and test it for antibiotic activity. This can be the start of the project or you can do lesson 1 soil microbes first. Though you do have to do this step before proceeding with the other lessons. This project is a real research experience for students and can be modified so students ask their own questions (example: change the type of soil). This lesson is based on the Tiny Earth project. Duration is of three days and students work in groups. Teacher prep can be up to 4 hours in sterilizing equipment and materials for students.

This is an adaptation of an HHMI BioInteractive activity. Students use graphics of scenes from two different areas where Rock Pocket Mice are evolving due to a change in environmental conditions (ie
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
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
