BACTERIA & MICROBIOLOGYMicrobes Around Us— Student Laboratory KitStudents will be amazed and disgusted when microbes grow on their agar plates from “clean” surfaces. After additional testing, students determine whether antibac-terial products really work. The step-by-step directions help you prepare for a safe and engaging first microbiology laboratory. Enough materials to make 60 agar plates. FB1218 I $43.20MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE SCIENCEOil-Eating Bacteria— Student Laboratory KitArouse student interest in environmental studies by exploring one way to clean up an oil spill—with oil-eating bacteria. As the bacteria reproduce, they eat more oil until the slick vanishes and the bacteria die with-out a food source, leaving almost nothing behind. Students create mini oil slicks and oily beaches, apply the oil-eating bacteria and witness the bacterial action over time, realiz-ing the difficulty of cleaning up an oil spill. FB1200 I $59.30Microbe Hunting— Student Laboratory KitStudents can safely culture microbes and test factors affecting growth with this kit of innovative 3M® Petrifilm™ plates. The ready-to-use paper-thin growth plates elim-inate sterilizing equipment and long hours of preparation. You and your students are ready to hunt for microbes the day the kit arrives. Includes 50 Petrifilm plates, direc-tions for Petrifilm inoculation and incubation and experimental suggestions.FB1219 I $59.45Introductory Bacteria— Student Laboratory KitStudents culture bacteria and then prepare slides to observe and identify the bacteria. Working individually through self-paced experiments, students gain vital and practi-cal laboratory experience as they apply the classical Gram staining technique for bacte-rial identification.
