A good way to find out if a water source has bacteria or fungi in it is to deliberately give the microbes perfect conditions to grow in, so each one multiplies into a colony that’s big enough to see easily.
That’s what this resource lets your students do.
This resource forms one part of a topic on nutrition and digestion called ‘Food and Famine’. You can find the whole topic on the GSK STEM Education website, here, or find the other four resources at these links:
- Lab Activity 2: Future Food
- Lab Activity 3: Liquid Nutrition
- Independent Learning 1: Starving Bodies
- Independent Learning 2: World Hunger
