Microbiology—Laboratory Activities
Author: Kathy Van Hoeck
York High School, Elmhurst, IL
Whether you are teaching a microbiology course or a short unit on microbes, you will want this laboratory manual. The author has carefully written the labs used in her microbiology course in an easy- to-follow format assuring student success in microbiology.
The laboratory exercises answer key organizing questions: • What are microbes?
• Where can bacteria be found?
• How can we inhibit bacterial growth?
• What do bacteria need to grow?
• How can we tell one bacterium from another?
• Why do microbes cause disease?
• How are microbes beneficial?
Each laboratory includes step-by-step directions, numerous teaching tips, detailed background information, safety and disposal consider- ations, timeline teaching suggestions and sample data. Microbiology laboratory work does assume access to sterilizing equipment (auto- clave or pressure cooker) as well as basic skills in sterile technique. 150 pages, 81⁄2" x 11", spiral-bound.
