Event details
Do you need to provide investigative practicals that allow students to develop the practical and analytical skills required in examination questions and coursework? Microbiology is very good for investigative work, as very many aspects are still unknown. This hands-on course covers all that is needed to provide microbiology practicals that allow microbes to be seen and quantified, and so investigated. We expect the discussion on the course to generate a wide range of exciting ideas for investigative activities to support learning, as well as for practical assessments in GCSE, A level and the International Baccalaureate. This is an intermediate microbiology course, covering general applications of quantitative microbiology and you will be expected to be familiar with microbiological safety and aseptic technique, such as that covered in Supporting Safe Practical Microbiology I.
What will the course include?
- health and safety and risk assessment in microbiology investigations
- partial identification of microbes from an environmental sample
- fixing and Gram staining microbes
- total and viable counts of microbes
- tracking growth rate of microbes in a culture
- ideas for practical investigations, and use of IT to analyse
Course Fee: £99.00
This is for a full day of professional development, all CLEAPSS course resources, lunch and refreshments.
