The Microcosmos Curriculum Guide to Exploring Microbial Space
Douglas Zook 1992 Kendall / Hunt Publishing Company

This book, a product of a science education program supported by the National Science Foundation, integrates biology and life sciences through hands-on activities. These activities present microbes not only as crucial for the survival of larger beings and the planet, but also as vehicles for learning. The investigations presented in this guide provide an opportunity to bring microbiology alive by integrating it with other disciplines, such as art, archeology, and nutrition. Some activities presented in the book create an environment where the presence of the microorganisms is apparent even without magnification.
