Biology!

Usually I tape our Friday Morning Science episode for the week on Wednesday mornings. This morning I was working on this week's episode which will be all about DNA which you have been hearing about in the library when you visit Mrs. Shirley. As I was working on the DNA experiment I happened to look at a sample of our tap water under my microscope. Check out what I found in it!

I don't know what this little creature is yet but I sent the picture to a biologist I know who works for the university. I do know that it is perfectly normal for pretty much all water to have microscope life living in it so this is certainly nothing to worry about. It is some pretty cool science though! If our biologist can help me identify the organism I will post here what it is.
