Fleming: video worksheets differentiated x3.

Engaging, funny, and informative, Dick and Dom present the life and works of Alexander Fleming. Using recreations of experiments, expert explanations, startling examples and whacky cut-aways, the presenters explain Fleming’s early life and career, the extent of contemporary knowledge. Fleming’s original lab recreated, the significance of his discovery, mass production in WW2. Bacterial growth, disruption of cell wall. Fleming’s germ “paintings”. What are bacteria? Bacteria on skin. Disease research and “Vomiting Larry”. The presenters exhibit microbial art at Manchester City Museum, very much to no-one’s delight.
