Microbe Experimentation

Sixth graders formulate a question about microorganisms that can be answered with an experiment. They develop a hypothesis for a questin about microorganisms based on observations and prior knowledge. Pupils carry out an investigation on microorganisms. Students display results in appropriate format (e.g., graphs, tables, diagrams). They prepare a written summary or conclusion to describe the results in terms of the hypothesis for the investigation on microorganisms.
