Essential Question: How can we investigate for the existence of bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms in our water?
Lesson Summary: Students learned the art of observation and first practiced this new skill on a set of videos of pond microorganisms. Next students used microscopes to observe microorganisms in pond water from Central Park. Using a digital microscope we were able to capture some of the creatures we found. Let's just say I don't think any AMS scholars or faculty will be swimming in ponds anytime soon after this lab.
