Your life science class works in their groups to review the concept maps that they have constructed over the course of a microbiology unit. They share what they have learned with the rest of the class. In a second session, they are given the same assessment that they took on the first day of the unit. They compare their answers for the post-assessment to their answers to the pre-assessment responses. They will be encouraged by what they now know about microbes!
