Growing Bacteria from Common Surfaces

Next Generation Science

This educational video takes students inside the "Lighthouse Lab" to explore the invisible world of bacteria. The host explains that while plants and animals are easily seen, bacteria are single-celled microscopic organisms that exist everywhere—in the air, on surfaces, and inside our bodies. The video demonstrates the concept of binary fission, explaining how a single bacterium can multiply into billions in just a few hours under the right conditions.
