Fleming Penicilin Assignment - 7th Grade


I thought it might be helpful to post this assignment on the blog.

You are working on your own or with a partner to work through Alexander Fleming's original scientific research paper where he showed that Penicillin could be used an an antibiotic.

As you work through the paper, you are trying to answer the following questions:
1. Problem - what question was he trying to answer?
2. Hypothesis - what was he trying to test?
3. Methods - what did he do to test his hypothesis?
4. Data - why did he collect the data he did?

In case you lose your packet, you can download a copy here:
Fleming Paper

If you have questions, you can post them here and I will try to answer them.
