Transcript Micro_Organism_Basics_Student

A micro_organism or microbe is an organism that is so small that it is invisible to the eye
Instruction:
Each of the following slides has a link attached to it that has information about a
particular microorganism. In your science notebook, copy the questions about the
type of microorganism and then click the link. As you go through the presentation
provide a complete response to each question.
At the end of each presentation, there is a quiz. Take the quiz until you have
answered all questions correctly and then return to this Microorganism Power-Point
and continue to the next slide.
