This captivating, award-winning video examines the history of humans’ fight against deadly diseases, the invention of the vaccine and penicillin, the evolution of bacteria, the differences between viruses and bacteria, and how our lifestyles contribute to the development of bacteria. The program comes with a teacher’s guide and student activities. Duration: 26 minutes.
