Section 1: a. What are micro-organisms and how do we grow them?
Children should learn:
- that there are different types of micro-organism
- that many micro-organisms are useful,
eg fungi are a source of antibiotics and are used in making food products

- to decide what to measure
- how to control variables
- about the number of measurements needed for data in which they have confidence
- that yeast respires like other organisms

- that some medicines contain antibiotics which kill bacteria or prevent their growth
- that scientific advances may depend on creative thought and interpretation of evidence
