Super Bugs!

We began working on our inquiry into structures that make us who we are today.  We began our inquiry into microorganisms by analyzing the impact superbugs are having on our world.  This inquiry lead us into a discussion of helpful and harmful microorganisms.  It was very interesting to listen to students talk about how disgusted they were with the thought of bacterial infections that can't be cured because they have become resistant to available medical treatment.  We also discussed how bacteria is helpful to our bodies and food supply.  Some students were surprised to learn how bacteria and mold are used in the treatment and prevention of illness and disease.  Great conversations and super excited students!  Have a wonderful night.
