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.
