The Microbiology Coloring Book

This book teaches you microbiology while making it fun. It is great for visual learnings. I am using it for my intro to microbiology course. I love it

I'm new to Microbiolgy and didn't know where or how to start studying. My textbook was just too huge. I felt a little silly ordering a coloring book but it has become a great way for me to flesh out key concepts and become familiar with the vocabulary. Each drawing comes with a detailed and easy to read description on the opposing page. Something about reading a paragraph and then coloring in the applicable section makes the information easy to understand. It's also a great way to get a little quick studying done. Each picture can be colored and reviewed in about 15 minutes (although I take a little longer just to really absorb the material). Thanks for the great book! I've already ordered the Physiology and Anatomy coloring books to use next semester.

This is an amazing resource. If I had had these coloring books in high school and college, I would have done much better. I am a visual learner and need pictures! And I love to doodle, draw and color. :) For those considering it for homeschooling - the Chemistry coloring book is much easier. This book would be more suited to a high schooler. Be aware that it covers topics of viruses and such. So there is mention of STD's. There are also some drawings to color that are PG 13. While they are appropriate to the topic, some parents will want to go through this ahead of time and do some editing depending on the age and maturity of the student using the book.

Great book for studying microbiology. I gave it only 4 stars for two reasons. 1. The paper is way to thin. I used my fine liner pens in these and they went through the paper to inter with the word drawn on the other side. The first four pictures show how they bleed through. It’s best to stick with color pencils with this. I prefer the prisms colored pencils 72 count. See last two pictures. 2. More diseases could have been added to make the book more complete. There are not many diseases in this book which made it more a supplement than a real vital help at midterm time. Would I buy it again? Yes definitely. I love that I am able to have fun coloring time while still studying for class.

I’m a molecular major and I always recommend this book to people who take molecular or cellular biology! It’s so much fun to color in the pictures while learning to reinforcing the material! Better yet the info really does go hand in hand with most of the lectures in our course funnily enough! Only thing is I with the pages were thicker. I use gel pens to color it in to minimize the transfer on to the back of the page (the pages do not have blank backs it’s just the next diagram or reading)

I took microbiology and anatomy at the same time. I used coloring books in both classes and they were a big help. The only complaint I have about the microbiology book is that the paper is thin, lighter than the paper stock used in the anatomy coloring book. I placed a paper between the pages so the markers didn't bleed onto the next plate, but you could see the colors through the page and sometimes it was distracting trying to read the information on the page. I tried coloring with pencils and it worked out fine, it just takes longer to use pencils as opposed to markers. I highly recommend the book if you are a visual and tactile learner.

I bought this book to accompany my college microbiology textbook as I find the act of coloring and labeling the pictures to be an effective study aid for me... Unfortunately, most of the info we covered in class was not present in the book. I colored what I found applicable but the rest was unused... I'm just not that into microbiology to color the whole thing without needing it to study. Now my 8 year old colors in it and it provides me with a teaching opportunity so all in all I'm happy I bought it.

While these books may appear as simple children's activities, they are instead detailed and complete guides to college level work and textbooks, giving a new initiative to learning material. The color, details, and careful explanations included within these books complement work done in the classroom and in the field. Before paying out large sums for study guides, outside tutoring or online help, try this book. This was the hardest class in college for me, and this book kept me on track particularly during the more detailed and confusing microbiology cellular activities.
