Seventh Grade
Today we are going to begin a small section on disease causing organisms.  I've got some agar plates made up so you can start to "grow" some fungus and bacteria found around the school.  These agar plates need to stay closed until you're ready to sample something.  Keep your cotton swab clean too.
I'm not letting everybody go at once so while your waiting you'll be watching a Bill Nye video on Bacteria.  You'll need to record 20 facts from the video.

Eighth Grade
