Activity 36C: Looking for Signs of Micro-Life 
December 8, 2014 
Getting Started: How could you figure out if something is a microbe? 
Introduction: Read pg.C-27 RACE: What makes people sick? 
L ooking for Signs of Microbe-Life 
If someone asked you what makes you sick, you might 
answer that germs, bacteria, or viruses make you sick. 
During the early 1900s, some people thought an 
infectious disease like th flu could be caused by 
nakedness, contaminated food, irritating gases in the 
atmosphere, unclean clothing, open windows, closed 
windows, old books, dirt, dust, or supernatural causes. 
What does cause infectious diseases? You can 
What kinds of microbes can you find? 
36C 
Challenge: Rewrite the challenge question in your own words.
Key Words: disease, microbe 
Procedure: Have you read and do you understand the 
procedure on pg. C-28? Write one 
sentence that describes what you will be 
doing. 
Results: Common Microbes 
Drawing Organizer 35.3 
Discussing our results 
Analysis: Answer Analysis Questions 1 through 5. 
Reflection: Imagine that you are a researcher studying microbes. 
Would you choose to study a disease causing microbe or one that 
does not cause disease? Explain you reasoning.
Common Microbes
Drawing Organizer 35.1
Discussion of observations 
 What characteristics did you look for to 
determine if something was a microbe?
 Could something that doesnt move still be 
alive?
 Were plants or algae moving?
 Is it possible some microbes exist that are 
smaller then we can observe? How could we 
collect evidence to prove or disprove your 
theory?
Where would you expect to find microbes and what do 
you think they might be doing there? 
 Most microbes are free-living (non-parasitic) 
 They live on almost every environment on 
Earth, including: 
 Inside rocks - in hot springs 
 In the soil - crude oil 
 They are vital parts of the food web 
 decomposers - scavengers 
 Carnivores - herbivores 
 Parasites - producers
Bacteria Cell Structure 
 Cell Wall 
 Cell Membrane 
 Cytoplasm 
 Ribosomes  produce protein 
 No Nucleus; genetic material floats in the cytoplasm 
 Shape 
 Rod 
 Sphere 
 Spiral
Bacteria v Animal Cells 
Bacteria Cells
Question 2 
 Develop three rules you will use the next time you 
do microscopy drawings: 
1. Make an exact copy of what you see 
2. Do not draw everything you see. 
3. Label the drawing. 
4. Give the magnification. 
5. Focus on the object with low power before using high 
power.
Question 3 
As a scientist, you are asked to describe two of 
the microbes that you saw to someone who 
has never looked through a microscope. 
Write a short paragraph describing the 
microbes you observed.
