Teaching Guide: Plating Transformed Bacteria
This teaching guide helps educators to integrate the Plating Transformed Bacteria simulation into an advanced high school biology lesson. Students will develop skills in experimental design and data analysis by completing a virtual plating of cells that have potentially been transformed to determine if the transformation was successful.
