How to build on bricks
Microorganisms help in the production of many food items, making medicines, keeping the environment clean, in manufacturing, and in research.
Connect biology to other disciplines
Microorganisms have a role in waste disposal, agriculture, and nutrient recycling.
Give examples of these types.
Students to work on real world problems to allow them to apply biological cocepts
Give examples of bacteria used in the pharmaceutical industry.
Encouraging students to draw on their own experiences and knowledge to understand biological concepts and systems for example asking students to compare human organ systems to those of animals
Give examples of Microorganisms in food production.
