Burrows/Gemmell, Science, 5/16

This week, students information about Kingdom Protista, discovering that most are unicellular eukaryotes. Students also created reference tools to help identify protists for the lab.  Finally, students began the pond water lab.  They were really excited and surprised to see how much life is in one drop of pond water! Students were able to see many organisms including an amoeba, parameciuim, and euglena--the same protists they have studied closely!  Next week, brings more pond water excitement as we use the water and technology for a project.
