Into the Looking Glass – with SciencePlay Kids
Glass is the key to discovery of all things too small to see with the naked eye. We’ll be using 3 kinds of ‘seeing’ devices to discover the really small and the things too far away to see in the wetlands. This activity is designed to engage young ecologists on their quest to discover more!…

Some bacteria are good – for example they live in our gut and help us digest food or they help us preserve food safely through fermentation. Other bacteria can make us very sick through food poisoning…
