NEW!! Microsocope images
Here is the site I showed you in class. The link takes you to the letter "A" but you can navigate to other images using the links on the top. Be careful ... not all images are of microorganisms. Check the name of the organism to be sure what it is ... it may not be a microbe!!
Stalking the Mysterious Microbe
This site is written for young people. Includes links to news articles on microbes.
Just what it sounds like. Good articles to read and research!
Intimate Strangers: Unseen Life on Earth
This is a site produced by PBS. It has a game that doesn't really teach much about how real microbes survive, so don't spend too much time with that.
This is a site with links to other resources. Some of them may be a bit advanced, but there are some good ones for students. Hunt around until you find what suits you.
This is a pretty spiffy article on viruses. Some people don't think viruses are microorganisms, but feel free to include viruses in your report on what microbes need.
This article discusses the microorganisms found in the boiling spring waters and mud pots of Yellowstone Park.
Mandy found this one, and she wants you to know about it!
