  • Help me add ideas to my experiments so that they are more useful for groups of multiple aged children. For example, a friend who homeschools used my experiments about water critters. RS was very young, so her part of the project was to hold the bottle of glitter. This was a very important job because the glitter would be used to represent the nucleus, the brain of the critter. Holding the bottle, the child proudly announced, “I’ve got the brain.”
  • Water critters, such as paramecium and euglena, are protists. Protists are unicellular organisms that are not plants, animal, fungi, or bacteria.
