Inquiry-Based Laboratory Activity to Investigate Physical Growth Requirements of Microorganisms

Standard "cookbook" laboratory activities that are used to teach students the optimal physical growth conditions of microorganisms should be modified so that they more effectively foster student's higher order cognitive skills and attract student interest. This paper describes a labor...
