What Is the Microbe Scavenger Hunt Used For?
Microbes are everywhere, and this investigation lets students prove it. They design their own experiments — exposing the gel to air in different rooms, touching it with soil, swabbing a piece of bread or fruit, or adding a drop of tap or pond water — and watch colonies appear over the following days. Because the medium is ready to use and needs no autoclave, the activity works in an ordinary classroom as well as a lab. Students then sort what they have grown: bacterial colonies are usually small, smooth and shiny, while moulds spread as fuzzy, thread-like growth. The dichotomous key leads them through a series of paired choices to name the main groups, and the dried Microlife Mix lets them explore the variety of protists and other organisms found in pond water.
The guide to viewing techniques covers how to look at colonies and organisms; colonies can be examined through a hand lens with the plate kept closed, and protists in a wet mount under a compound microscope. The hunt suits Microorganisms: Friend and Foe in CBSE class 8, the Monera, Protista and Fungi kingdoms in class 11 Biological Classification, and science-club or project work. Keep incubated plates sealed and dispose of them as your teacher or lab safety rules direct.
What to Specify When Ordering

- Contents list — ask for the itemised list and the quantity of growth medium in each kit.
- Viewing equipment — add hand lenses, slides or microscopes if your class needs them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do students collect in the scavenger hunt?
Bacteria, fungi and protists from water, air, soil and even food, grown on a ready-to-use gel medium and then identified with a dichotomous key.
Do we need an autoclave or other special equipment?
No. The specially formulated gel needs no autoclaving or special equipment, so the investigation can run in a normal classroom.
What is the Microlife Mix?
It is a specially formulated dried mix included in the investigation that lets students explore the diversity of pond organisms under the microscope.
