Look Around You
Reflection on microbes in daily life.
Microbes are everywhere! Observe your kitchen, garden, or local environment. List two specific items, processes, or foods that exist or function because of the 'invisible living world', and reflect on how this changes your perspective.
Name the item or process, and the microbe involved if you know it.
Name a second item or process driven by microorganisms.
Reflect on how knowing about these microbes changes how you view everyday objects and nature.
