World in a Drop
Explore the microscopic world!
Look at a variety of microorganisms under the microscope. We’ll bring in local samples collected from lakes, swamps, puddles, or even the dishes under potted plants. We've seen all sorts of things - including tardigrades and all kinds of spinning, squirming, and swirling protozoa. Students will learn how to operate a microscope and prepare wet-mounted samples.
