This week we'll swab various areas at Mt. Blue Middles School, hoping to find bacterial cells to grow in petri dishes. Students have selected places to explore and we should be capturing some really weird cells that will multiply through asexual reproduction using gelatin as food, water, and shelter!
Our intention is to start identifying some of the organelles in the bacteria and eventually move towards discovering the differences between those cells and animal or plant cells. Students will use the dissecting scopes to explore that growth and we may make slides for microscope viewing later in the week.
