What's Cooking? Bacteria

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

There's no need for bacteria hysteria! With this flashy, gourmet-cooking-show-style video, young bacteriologists find that there are tremendous amounts of microbes in different foods that we eat and inside our bodies. Kitchen instruction is given on keeping meat and vegetable cutting boards separate, and how refrigeration and cooking can keep undesirable bacteria under control. The high-quality video is interspersed with graphics, keeping viewers engaged for the whole nine minutes. This outstanding show can be a plus for a math or biology class, or for a cooking elective.
