NSU University School Students Conduct Bacterial Analysis

NSU University School’s Microbiology/Forensic Science Advanced Topics (AT) class allows students to learn complex and unique skills, strategies, and techniques throughout the school year.  Upper School students taking the class have been hard at work learning the intricate process of staining bacteria by placing bacterial smears on slides to stain, observe, and examine the different types of bacteria under the microscope. This is one of the many procedures they will learn this year including collecting and examining data, ballistics, and fingerprint and hair fiber analysis. NSU University School is one of the few schools in the state of Florida that offers this unique, hands-on course to students in grades 9-12.
