Bacteria have 3 main shapes; coccus (sphere-shaped), spirillum (spiral-shaped), and bacillus (rod-shaped).
On the model above, place a circle around the coccus bacterium.
Place a “squiggly” oval around the spirillum bacterium.
Place a rectangle around the bacillus bacterium.
Develop a way to help you remember the shapes of bacteria:
Coccus-_____________________________________________________________________
Spirillum- ____________________________________________________________________
Bacillus- _____________________________________________________________________
