Top Trumps with a twist!
An informative and fun way to explore the features and properties of a range of microorganisms.
Students use microorganisms to compare and compete, in categories such as dangerousness and minimum pH needed for growth.
Which organism is the deadliest? Which one can survive freezing? How ill will it make you? Pick the criteria and the cards supply the answers.

A pack of 20 unique A6-sized cards depicting microorganisms, illustrated with an electronmicrograph and a fun cartoon Nanobugs character.

Alongside these are technical data and general information on each organism and their effects on humans, together with a ‘dangerousness’ score.

Players use the microorganisms on the cards, including Clostridium botulinum and Lactobacillus acidophilus to trump each other in categories such as ‘dangerousness’ and minimum pH levels needed to allow growth.

Can be used to play trumps or as a reference data source
