Weird World of Microbes (Grades 5-7)

Weird World of Microbes

In this hands-on camp, campers will explore the amazing world of microbes, digging deep into things like infectious diseases and how they’re spread. Working as a microbiologist does, campers will grow a disease in a petri dish, explore the structure of cells, think critically about diseases and how their spread can be controlled, and even make their own microscope!
