Tardigrades…

biology

When we are back next week, we are going to use the microscopes. Among other things we will look through some mossy water to see what we can find. The top prize is for finding a tardigrade – also known as a water bear or (my favourite) moss piglet. If you have 12 minutes, watch this lovely Hank Green video all about the 500 million-year-old aquatic beastie.
