This bundled unit contains at least 2 weeks of teaching materials or 3 weeks if you complete all of the enclosed labs. The title of this unit is Viruses and Bacteria. This unit has everything that a teacher needs to teach a unit on this topic to Biology or life science students. It includes: History of viral studies, structure of viruses, reproduction of viruses, viral diseases, structure of bacteria / prokaryotic cells, 2 domains of bacteria, and much more. You will receive 14 separate products: A 58 slide powerpoint presentation, teacher notes, student notes, 4 labs, 2 jeopardy review games, 2 daily quizzes, 2 homework assignments, 2 crossword puzzles, and a unit test.
When appropriate, I have included each product as an editable Word document, and I have also included each product in pdf form. Each of these products is sold separately in my TpT store, but buying the entire unit in one download will save you money. If each of these products were purchased separately, the total cost would be $32.00.
