Playing With the River Ecosystem

Our last day of science camp with the 1st - 5th graders was spent playing with water and learning about single celled organisms. We went to the Weber River and collected samples of water, then brought them back to the suite and made slides to see what we could find. We learned about the amoeba and the paramecium along with hydra and other organisms found in pond and river water.
