We got some pond scum from our local river. We put a drop of the water onto a slide and viewed it through a microscope. We also made a movie by putting a smartphone lens onto the eyepiece. We saw paramecia, Euglena, and at least one multi-celled organism. These organisms use flagellum (a little tail that whips around), cillia (little hairs), and amoeboid motion (moving like an amoeba. In other words, moving very slowly) to move around. We named one multi-celled microbe Mitch the Microbe.
