In this video, we’re covering science, health and the world of bacteria!

Inspired by the ceramic penicillin culture vessels, originally produced in Stoke-on-Trent, Growing Cultures explore the connections between health, medicine and history. Learn about the discovery of penicillin, the development of antibiotics and different types of good and bad bacteria from the worksheet then have a go at making your own bacteria cell from clay or salt dough!
