This will be an indepth study of the microbial world. We will look at Germ Theory and Louis Pasteur. Discuss the difference between antibiotics and vaccines. We look at the history of epidemics and pandemics, disease identification and management, identification of pathogens, how disease is transmitted, and immunity. We will also explore specific organ system diseases. Having a general knowledge of biological concepts is beneficial but not required. Textbook and additional materials will be provided by me.
Students will need the following:
Bacteria growing kit (already prepared or The Nutrient Agar in powder form)
Jars for collecting
Student Microscope
Microscope slides/cover slips
Eye dropper
Spiral notebook or Journal
latex gloves
nose/mouth mask

Students will need the following: Bacteria growing kit (already prepared or The Nutrient Agar in powder form) with at least 10 Petri dishes Sterile swabs (swabs in a package) toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, or floss. Student Microscope Bacteria Stain (Methylene Blue) Microscope slides/coverslips Eyedropper lighter/candles paperclip/needle clean water latex gloves nose/mouth mask aquarium/pond water sample of onion dirt/sand yogurt leaf clear nail polish Your microscope should have at least a 10x eyepiece and three objective lenses from at least 4x to 40x. The methylene blue can be found at aquarium stores. It is a chemical. I strongly suggest for the younger students to have someone help them and store it in a cool, dry place in your home.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Hi, I have been a science teacher for over 18 years. I am a homeschool mom to a 5th grader and a 10th grader. I have homeschooled them from pre-kindergarten up until now. I have a master's degree in general science and have taught a variety of science courses at the middle, high school and college levels. I believe learning can be loud and exciting especially in science. This class gives you an indepth journey into microbiology especially if you are interested in becoming a doctor, nurse or in some other related healthcare field. Reseñas
