Microscopic Life in the Water


As part of our summer reading program, Holly graff lead a Microscopic life in the Water Workshop. Using both the compound light microscope and the stereo microscope, participants will discovered the tiny world that exists within our local waterways. They collected water samples from the local Esopus Creek tributary, made their own slides, and searched for single-celled protozoa and algae as well as larger organisms such as rotifers, arthropods, and insects. They aslo made water colors and journal entries of what the saw!
