Amanda and Marina created a module to introduce Grade 1 kids to microbes for the program Let’s talk science. They picked a very challenging subject to introduce something we cannot see to 6 year-olds. However, they pulled it off very successfully using pictures, glow-in-the-dark powder and black lights, and a couple of microscope. I joined them for the final presentation (in my son’s class), and these are the pictures I took.
Next time, volcanos?
