Sample Videos from Microbiology
These 8 videos were chosen to give you an idea of the scope and variability of the 48 videos in the course. In the e-book version of this book, the videos are integrated directly into the course. In that way, they can be viewed as an extension of the written material in order to highlight and emphasize what is being studied. In the print version the videos can be viewed through a library housed on the website.
Microbiology is a 12-chapter science course written for middle-grade learners in grades 4–7. This is essential and relevant science everyone should learn. Microbiology takes an integrated approach, weaving biology, immunology, genetics, ecology, health, and chemistry into an immersive learning experience focused on microbial life. The course meets important Next Generation Science Standards and incorporates many of the Common Core Standards for math and language arts.
Microbiology uses a multimodal approach for delivering content. Each chapter features curated videos, color photographs, and illustrations. Hands-on modeling and embedded questions support reinforcement of essential concepts. In addition, 48 animated videos were developed specifically for this course to bring microbial science to life. Every chapter also includes labs and activities that scaffold around the course’s concepts.
Microbiology incorporates writing, math, and history into the text. Through short-answer questions and scaffolded writing assignments, this course helps learners strengthen writing skills and practice analytical thinking. The goal is to build students’ understanding of the content and structure expected in science writing. Creative expression is encouraged as students are invited to use art and design while staying true to the principles of science.
This course comes with an Appendix in PDF form.
