    • Be able to describe the 3 major microorganism groups and give an example of each 
    • Explain what these microorganisms look like - their main characteristics 
    • Describe how they reproduce 
    • Research  ONE harmful microorganism and ONE beneficial microorganism 
    • Investigate a disease transmitted by a microorganism 
    • Carry out a number of experiments - bread growth/ yeast growth / agar plate inoculation 
    • Analyse the results of these experiments in a scientific way
