Microorganisms
Standard 5 Science Benchmark
Microorganisms are those living things that are visible as individual
organisms only with the aid of magnification. Investigation of microorganisms
is accomplished by observing organisms using direct observation with
the aid of magnification, observation of colonies of these organisms
and their waste, and observation of microorganisms’ effects on
an environment and other organisms.Students will understand that microorganisms
range from simple to complex, are found almost everywhere, and are both
helpful and harmful.
Infection
• Detection • Protection
This site from the American Museum of Natural History With this Web
celebrates the triumphs of microbe hunters and disease detectives. Today,
scientists know how to battle and even prevent many diseases caused
by bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Thanks to vaccines, some deadly
diseases no longer claim millions of lives in the U.S. Students can
Meet the Microbes, find Bacteria in the Cafeteria, learn about Infection
and How Lou Got the Flu, and solve a Mixed-Up Microbe Mystery.
