Lesson Summary:In this lesson, students demonstrated their understanding of microorganisms by creating an informational brochure that highlights their beneficial and harmful effects, connecting scientific concepts to real-world communication. The lesson began with a review of key facts about microorganisms, such as their roles in food production, medicine, and disease. Students researched additional information using articles, videos, and class discussions, focusing on examples like bacteria used in yogurt and microbes that cause illnesses. Using their research, students designed a brochure with sections for both helpful and harmful microorganisms, including visuals, facts, and real-life examples to educate readers. They also included a “Did You Know?” section to engage their audience with interesting trivia. After completing their brochures, students shared their work with peers and reflected on how microorganisms impact daily life. This project encouraged creativity, critical thinking, and the practical application of knowledge while enhancing students’ ability to communicate scientific ideas effectively.
