by Cynthia Bujanda
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 context of the antibiotic resistant problem. Students brainstorm, design and implement a protocol to isolate bacteria from soil. This can be a stand alone lesson or you can follow the series of lessons to further quantify, isolate, identify and test for antibiotic activity against tester strains.
