Soil Microbes
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.

This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
This hands-on lesson is for the use of a hydroponic system. Tower gardens were the systems used, however, if budget is a concern, there is a very affordable option in the plan as well using tanks
This lesson can be used to reinforce physical science standards, engineering design concepts, and collaboration. Students will work with a National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run to construct a basic
