Overview

Jones & Bartlett Learning's Microbiology Animations bring fascinating microbiology phenomena to life with a collection of vivid, full color, interactive exercises. Each animation guides students through microbiology processes and gauges students' progress and understanding with assessment questions introduced throughout each narrated animation. These "Speed Bumps" serve to ensure that students fully understand the process demonstrated as well as retain the knowledge for future quizzes and tests.

Key Features and Benefits of Jones & Bartlett Learning Microbiology Animations:

  • Brings key microbiology concepts to life through dynamic, interactive exercises.
  • Each animation is based on a real-world microbiology application.
  • "Speed Bump" questions throughout each animation ask students to pause and assess their understanding of the concept at hand.
  • Narrated exercises fully engage students in the learning process.
  • Assessment questions are offered in a variety of formats including drag and drop, order of processes, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blank.
