A Microbial World

Oppdrag: Sample, grow, and investigate the micro-organisms around us and research their relationship with many of the products we use every day.

In this activity, students will investigate the relationship micro-organisms have with many of the products they use every day and then sample, grow, and investigate the micro-organisms around
us.
