Task

Along with a partner, you will investigate one of the main types of microbes that we discussed in class.

  • Bacteria
  • Virus
  • Fungi
  • Algae
  • Protozoa

You will create a Google Slideshow to present to the class.  You will be teaching your fellow classmates detailed information about your microorganism.  The information must include:

  • A definition 
  • A picture 
  • Explanation of how it functions
  • Determine types and list examples of good (beneficial) and bad (harmful) microorganisms

You may, also, construct a poster and/or show short videos that have been approved by the teacher in your presentation.

Here are some websites to get you started.  You will need to conduct your own research.
