High Schoolers Love This
Reviewed By:  Shelley
This is a very fun activity, and really shows kids the variety of viral shapes. I used this with my microbiology classes at the high school every year, and it was a favorite. The consumables are easy to replace each time you do the activity, so it is worth the initial purchase.
