Students sift through the dirt and seaweed, (use 2oz. cups and sticks) looking for live aquatic insects, pond creatures, and fresh water organisms. Observing Common Fresh Water Organisms through Microscopes: Using trays filled with water, seaweed and aquatic life, have students use tweezers and eye droppers to prepare their own slides and observe organisms. Use charts to identify organisms and share them with the group.
