STEM-based activities guide students through the culturing and presumptive identification of common microbes on innovative BioPaddles™ - each containing microbe-specific media enclosed in a sterile vile. Activities develop critical thinking skills and emphasize engineering as a key component.
Students predict which environmental conditions are favorable to airborne microbes and then propose and carry out a strategy to collect airborne microbes using passive sampling techniques. Students construct and calibrate an impact sampler to sample an airspace and determine airborne microbe contaminate levels.
