Bacteria Watercolours

Have a look online, with a parent or guardian, at what bacteria looks like for some inspiration.

For this activity you will need:

  • Pencils, crayons or paint- something to draw with!
  • Paper or other surface
  • water

Draw or paint some bacteria! If you have some food colouring you could even experiment with that! Watch how it spreads like bacteria, similar shape and edges try in water, on paper and other surfaces for different results.

Are there any specific strands they look like?
why do you think bacteria looks this way?
