Screening for Antibiotic Production
This lesson is part of a project to isolate bacteria from soil and test it for antibiotic activity. This lesson must follow Microbial Serial Dilutions. You can also use this lesson to screen for antibiotic production of any bacteria species sampled from anywhere you wish, however here we focus on soil bacteria that have been selected from a serial diluted plate. This project is a real research experience for students and can be modified so students ask their own questions. This lesson is based on the Tiny Earth project. It takes a total of 4 days with one of them being a block period.

In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.
The lesson plan consists of three labs that students can perform to investigate photosynthesis by preparing a slide and observing the chloroplast, test for the presence of glucose in leaves and
This lesson is designed to review key biology concepts with 9-10th grade students using hands-on activities with LEGO bricks. I usually implement this a week before our Final exams. Students will
