 A didactic use of soil bacteria from nodules on leguminous plant roots
Hands-on activities enabling students to extract bacteria from nodules of leguminous plant roots, to grow them and infect roots of different leguminous plants.
This activity can be done in a multiphase project starting from the growing of soil bacteria and free living nitrogen fixing bacteria using EIBE protocols

 Immobilisation of yeast in calcium alginate beads
A practical method of immobilising yeast cells in calcium alginate is described. The entrapped cells can then be used to ferment sugar solutions. The volume of carbon dioxide produced can be measured.

 How to grow oyster mushrooms at home
Oyster cap mushrooms can easily be grown on clean, moistened toilet paper. This method is a good introduction to mycology, particularly for younger school pupils, because after the initial incubation the mushrooms appear within days. Investigations into the effect of light and ventilation on the shape of fruiting bodies can also be carried out.
