Isolating, Identifying and Characterizing Bacteriophages: New Course Designs that Target K-12 and Undergraduate Students
Session Format
Presentation Session (45 minutes)
Location
Room 2904
Abstract for the conference program
We designed two courses around the isolation, identification and characterization of phages that are present in dirt and water-dwelling bacteria. Phages, also known as bacteriophages, are viruses that infect bacteria. The two courses target undergraduate biological and environmental science students who are chosen to become K-12 educators. In addition, a modified research protocol was designed for implementation in K-12 classrooms.
