Exploring Microbiology

Discover the tiny world of microorganisms! You’ll collect samples from various plant and water sources, then use microscopes to learn about microscopic single-celled and multicellular organisms. We’ll search for tardigrades, amoebas, ciliates, euglenoids, flatworms, rotifers, copepods, nymphs and more. Anticipate a possible visit to a UW lab to learn about current research involving microorganisms and cells.
