      Hiya.

      The idea is to show students that there are lots of different bacteria living around the human body and that we benefit from them. We’ve evolved together with our bacteria. Among other things, they help us digest food and also protect us from bad bacteria. The plan would be to show the students the different beneficial bacteria as well as some bad ones at different sites around the body.
