Use the following presentation to answer the questions on your “Meet the Microbe Sheet”

My S2 class took part in a note taking exercise. They were asked to work in threes and research information on microbes.

After discussion in their respective groups a recorder had to write down the key facts they had found in their research.

Photographs were taken and uploaded into a Google Docs presentation document.

The slides from the presentation were printed off and each pupil then pasted the classes notes into their notebook or can look at the notes here.

A couple of white boards and pens and a research task and my S2 pupils set of to pick up information around the class on microbes.

They recorded their information and in groups they had to decide which piece of information had to go on the small whiteboard.

I then took a picture of each white board and made this presentation with google docs.

Look out for the aurora. These are the green bands on the edge of the Earth. You can also see lightning storms and big cities lit up at night.
What a joy to see.
