The Cell — Interactive Laboratory

Explore the foundations of microbiology through hands-on experiments: the classical studies of spontaneous generation (Redi, Needham, Spallanzani, Pasteur), osmosis and osmotic stress, cell shape and arrangement, the Gram procedure, chemotaxis, endospore resistance, membrane transport, and prokaryotic cell structure.

The Interactive Course Laboratory is developed one chapter at a time, following the same format: a central question, several interactive experiments, and a quiz. Additional laboratories for other courses and chapters are currently being prepared — feedback from students and educators is welcome.

How the laboratories work: each laboratory is a single, self-contained page for projector, laptop, tablet or phone. Select a laboratory above, then choose a station inside it. Nothing to install, no accounts, and no data is collected — see the Teaching page for details.
