Schneegurt, Mark A.; Wedel, Adrianne N.; Pokorski, Edward W. – Science Teacher, 2004
Using microbiology activities in the classroom is an effective way for teachers to address National Standards in the life sciences. However, common microbiology activities that involve swabbing doorknobs and hands are too risky due to the likelihood of culturing human pathogens. In addition, making sterile media and maintaining sterile conditions…
