Exploring The Human Microbiome And Its Impact On Health

The video tutorial introduces 7th graders to microbiomes, focusing on the importance of good bacteria in the human microbiome. It includes activities such as adding key concepts to notebooks, observing Petri dishes, watching a related video, and analyzing a case study of patient 23 who underwent a fecal transplant. Students are encouraged to read an article on gut microbiomes and reflect on their learning.
