The Protists are here!

Here we go....

Protists have arrived and we were back on the microscopes! On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we will observe and asked meaningful questions about paramecium, euglena, stentor, blepharisma, and more! It was exciting to watch them move and interact and allowed us to refine our microscopy skills.

Here is a website with a few images of the organisms we observed:

Here are some links that will allow you to learn more! Write some notes and submit them for extra credit!!

2) Protist Link #2- good video clips
