BioQUEST companion activities are designed to provide  simulations of real world problems from the laboratory, the community and the environment. Three levels of activity offer experiences in collaborative problem solving. These investigative resources, to be used with the Unseen Life on Earth telecourse, provide an extended learning experience about microbiology. |
Microbes Count! is a collection of multimedia resources, simulations, and tools that offer an interactive, open-ended environment for learning about microbiology. These resources are research-related, contemporary, and lend themselves to collaborative learning in classroom, laboratory, field, or computer workspaces.
Microbes Count! can be purchased from ASM Press. The book features 40 lab activities and includes access to online resources such as software, data and extended learning materials. A number of the activities were developed in collaboration with undergraduate faculty at the 2001 BioQUEST Summer Workshop.
