Microbiologist Dr. Walker and some graduate students from the University of Georgia came to share with second grade about bacteria. They Twosies rotated through four classrooms for a different bacteria focus.
In our first rotation, we learned that there are good bacteria in many foods that we eat. The students got to eat yogurt in this rotation!
The third rotation allowed us to explore some of the infections that are caused by bacteria. We were able to observe different antibiotics working to kill off bacteria in a petri dish. We also got to watch a video of a white blood cell attacking a bacteria!
Finally, we got to swab a place on our body and spread our sample on a petri dish of our own! Dr. Walker took the dishes back to her lab and grew our bacteria. She later sent us pictures of our cultures. So gross and so cool!!!
