Product Description
Why is it important to take an antibiotic as prescribed? Students model the effects of antibiotics on the population of disease-causing bacteria during an infection. During the simulation, some groups complete the full course of antibiotics, while other miss doses. They then graph populations of more-resistant and less-resistant bacteria Students observe the selection of more-resistant bacteria that can take place if antibiotic treatment is intermittent or discontinued prematurely. Through this activity, students learn why it's important to take "the full course" of antibiotics. Complete for 32 students. Grades 6-12.
