Education Resources
These education resources have been made in close cooperation with microbiology teachers and talented illustrators. We have created 4 teaching packs that can be used by teachers and for scientific outreach. Choose between 4 amazing microbiological practical activities that explore the wonderful world of microbes!
Make your own delicious Sourdough or Yoghurt cultures; build your own Winogradsky Columns to create many environments for different microbes; or create your own Agar Plates to grow many types of microbes from a variety of sources.
Each pack comes with a beautifully produced infographic explaining the activities and separate teaching notes and student instructions to provide all the information you need with your class of budding microbiologists.
Make sure you check out our Events for IMD2024!
