Activity 51-52 Antibiotic Resistance


Today students read about bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics. While students read, they took Cornell notes about the reading and then wrote a summary about why bacteria are resisting antibiotics. The three reasons we discussed are:
1. People are not finishing their full course of medication
2. People are taking antibiotics when they are not sick
3. People are taking antibiotics for the wrong microbial disease

Reminder: Science Fair tonight at 6 tonight in the cafeteria
