Science at Thompson River University (TRU)

Students had 2 visits to the Microbiology Lab with Dr. Anne Cheeptham to learn about various bacteria, and how to stain them and view them under the microscope.  The class brought Agar plates back to Sun Peaks in which we swabbed various items or places around the school. We grew the bacteria on the plates on our own, then returned back to TRU to the Microbiology lab to stain the samples and learn what we grew!
