| Anyone up for some microhabitat investigations in the eco lab? |
|
Casie, Helene, and Celia investigate a model of an aquatic pond environment. |
| Marjorie takes a water sample. |  |
 |
Bottle biology, another way of modeling habitats in a classroom. |
| Sharon, Casie, Paul, and Celia discuss their research. |  |
 |
Toni, Kay, and Mark look closely at the strider bug's features under the microscope. |
| Surprising everyone, the striders fled the water when they were added to a deeper bucket. |  |
 |
Taking a new direction, they try to figure out which change in the habitat disturbed the striders. Water depth? Shadows? Moss? Human hand oils? Presence of other critters? |
| Nancy takes a peek at the water strider under the microscope. |  |
 |
Pat takes careful notes on her team's investigations. |
| Scene of the inquiry: the elements of Pat's team's indoor exploration. |  |
