This VIRTUAL pond water activity reinforces simple classification, teaches about life in a drop of pond water, and takes students on a journey through a microscopic world!
BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS GOOGLE DOCS WEBQUEST: Please ensure that you can access the links below from your school computer. Each are a part of the webquest.
This webquest was created to prepare students for a lab on microscopic pond organisms. However, it can just as well be used as a stand-alone assignment.
In this activity, students will:
- Learn about animal-like protozoans, plant-like algae, and protists with both characteristics.
- Learn about common microscopic animals found in pond water such as cnidarians, rotifers, nematodes, and crustaceans.
- Answer questions based on website information.
