Freeport - McMoRan: Dig Into Mining - Microbe Probe
In this activity, students research the antimicrobial properties of copper.
To test copper’s effects on microbes, students use copper sulfate (which ancient alchemists called blue vitriol). Students vary the concentration of copper sulfate solution to determine its efficacy at killing bacteria.
Students will research the antimicrobial properties of copper, test copper’s effects on microbes using copper sulfate to determine its efficacy at killing bacteria.
