Grade – The Most Unwanted Bacteria- Pathogen Project.
Planning for the Final Presentation
1. At the end of the food safety unit, each team will present their research to the class in a fun, creative way. The presentation should be about 5 minutes.
2. Since one of the purposes of the presentation is to share what they learned about their bacterium with the other students, each team should prepare a simple fact sheet on their bacterium with the other teams to add to their portfolios. At the end of the presentation each team will have information on all of the Most Unwanted Bacteria.
