"Green Revolution: Microbes" explores how microbial fuel cells use bacteria to break down organic waste in dirty water and generate electricity at the same time. Featuring research at Penn State University, the video explains key concepts such as bacteria, metabolism, electrons, electrodes, circuits, reactors, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy. It shows how microbes can help clean water, reduce pollution, and power devices, while also highlighting engineering design, scientific investigation, and scaling technology from lab models to real-world systems. This STEM-focused overview supports curriculum connections in life science, environmental science, physical science, and engineering. Part of the "Green Revolution" series.
