In this unit, developed by ABE Greater Los Angeles Master Teacher Fellow Joi Haraishi, students investigate how microbes are harnessed in modern waste management systems and connect that knowledge to techniques used in the ABE Focus on Bacteria lab sequence. Through maintenance of a classroom compost pile, they also learn about the processes of nitrogen fixation and nutrient cycling.
