BACTERIA ON FOOD LABORATORY POWERPOINTS (coming soon!)
The lab PowerPoints used in the Virtual Microbiology Classroom are designed to help introduce students to each lab topic.
- Lab Project #5: Testing Amount of Bacteria on Chicken Wings Lab PowerPoint Show
- Lab Project #5: Testing Amount of Bacteria on Chicken Wings Lab PDF Printout
Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
BACTERIA ON FOOD LAB DOCUMENTS
The Lab Project Instructions provide a thorough explanation of the lab topic, as well as detailed directions on how to complete the lab exercise. The Lab Report Template is what the students use to develop the lab report of this project that will be turned in.
