Lesson Summary: In this lesson, students used Nearpod to explore the roles of microorganisms, engaging in interactive activities to deepen their understanding and apply knowledge in real-world contexts. The lesson began with students researching microorganisms through Nearpod's informational slides, learning about examples that are beneficial, such as those used in medicine or food production, and harmful, such as those causing diseases. They reinforced this learning by practicing with Nearpod flashcards to review key terms and concepts. Next, students participated in a sorting activity within Nearpod, categorizing microorganisms as harmful or beneficial based on their characteristics and effects. To conclude, students played the "Time to Climb" game, an engaging and competitive assessment that challenged them to apply their knowledge in answering questions about microorganisms. This lesson combined research, critical thinking, and interactive technology to promote a comprehensive and practical understanding of microorganisms and their impact on the world.
