MICROORGANISM REVIEW WEEK

Here are some sites that are very helpful while reviewing microorganisms:

http://www.schools.utah.gov/curr/science/core/6th/TRB6/default.htm This is the state site with a literacy reading, vocabulary, lessons, and assessments.

http://peer.tamu.edu/curriculum_modules/Properties/module_1/lesson.htm This site gives specifics of all the types of microorganisms, pictures, good and bad types and various facts that are necessary to know for the state test.  There are also games available. Use the following review to navigate the site.

Directions:

1.     In the web address bar type : http://peer.tamu.edu/curriculum_modules/Properties/module_1/lesson.htm

2.     You will be reviewing the different microorganisms you have learned about.  Answer questions after you have read each section.

Students need to be able to identify by description or picture; bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and virus.  They should be able to also list good and bad examples of each.

Lastly, students need to be familiar with the scientists who pioneered the use of the microscope and how to control microorganisms in the use of vaccines and modern day anti-biotics.
