Did You See That?
There are many microorganisms living in, on, and around us.
Where do some common microorganisms live, and why? Find out by looking at
different samples of soil and water to see what you can find.
Part I
How many of the organisms illustrated on these pages can you find in the samples? Draw each
organism that you find, note which sample you found it in, and explain what
enables it to live there. For organisms you find that aren't pictured, draw
what they look like and label what you think they may be.
Part II
Once you are done, choose an organism for further study. Draw the
organism on a separate sheet of paper. Find out how it breathes, moves,
reproduces, and defends itself; label your drawing to show which part of the
organism is involved in doing these actions, and describe under your labels how
each action is accomplished.
