Bacteriology experiments designed for use in a course of high school biology
Abstract
Nature of Study: This report deals with the neglect of intergrating bacteriology in high school biology. Certification requirements for high school biology teachers in the public schools of the various states are presented in tabular form. Also included are experiments which should give a biology student the basic understanding of this science, and the fundamental manipulative skills in the handling of the bacteriologists laboratory tools. Findings and Conclusions: The certification requirements for biology teachers in secondary schools are vague and inadequate in most states. There is no specific requirement of preparation in bacteriology for certification in any state. The lack of teacher preparation reflects the neglect of the presentation of bacteriology in high school courses. Use of the Study: The experiments are offered as an aid to biology teachers with little or no preparation in bacteriology.
