    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...the three main types of microorganisms by researching and classification
    • We are EXPLORING...the uses of these three main types of microorganisms by experimentation and research
    • We are EXPLORING...the fact that some of these microorganisms are actually harmful and through research we will be able to identify what diseases they cause and make suggestions on how to prevent these diseases

    Learning Intentions: We are learning to (WALT)...

    • 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
