Antibiotic Resistance

Can you defeat multiplying bacteria with an antibiotic dose? It sounds easy, but remember--whatever doesn't kill bacteria makes it stronger!

Colorful circular cartoon bacteria with facial expressions, predominantly blue and red, on a blue background. Some are outlined in green. Labels read 'dose antibiotic' and 'Avg. Resist.'

  • In this playful introduction to the world of bacteria, players get a visual representation of reproduction, mutation, and antibiotic resistance.

    Antibiotic Resistance is part of the Yard Games, our collection of middle school science games. Designed as playful introductions to complex topics, the games are online and free to play.
