Students were especially interested in the Daphnia’s internal anatomy including the eye, food tube, brood pouch, and beating heart.

Here is some of what the students observed.

In this Daphnia, there appear to be 2 small Daphnia in the brood pouch.

Students were also very interested in the Daphnia’s appendages and their movement.

Other organisms observed included Hydra…

…mold…

…and critters sampled from pond water.

There were lots of student comments like, “Come here! You’ve got to see this!” “Awesome!” and “Cool.”

Cheri was often called upon to observe, interpret, and extend their discoveries…

…respond to questions…

…and give assistance.

Even guests were pressed into service. Here Dr. Ken Mechling, Director of Project ZOOM, helps students wondering about the movements of Hydra.
