 When you think of a zoo, I'll bet that you think of bears, lions, elephants and other large animals that are commonly found in zoos. But did you know that there are many more animals in this world that are invisible to the naked eye than animals that can easily be seen?! They live beneath your feet in the dirt, in your favorite swimming hole, even in a rain puddle, but they are so small that you have never noticed them before. Come on in to view a fascinating world that many people do not know exist. In fact, until the invention of the microscope in the 1600's, nobody knew this tiny world was here. And yet, these tiny communities contain all the drama and excitement of a coral reef or rainforest community. This WebQuest will help you discover what kind of organisms are living in your microscopic zoo. |
