A Closer Look at the Infinitely Small

During this workshop, you’ll head out into the field to collect a variety of samples, which you’ll then examine using a binocular magnifying glass and a microscope. You’ll try to identify the organisms you observe and compare them with everyone else’s findings. We’ll highlight the connections between these organisms and note their importance in ecosystems.
