And you are going to prepare a certificate of appreciation for the microorganism you choose.

Process

Step 1: Form a group with 6 members.

Step 2; Use the website listed in the information resources and read about different kinds of microorganisms and their benefits in some purposes. You can also watch video and picture out the characteristics of both microorganisms.

Step 3: After reading the information make a powerpoint presentation in a creative but presentable manner follow the steps in making it.
