Micro to Macro Chain
Description
Have you ever given any thought to the fact that many invisible organisms swim alongside you when you swim in a lake or river? Quebec’s freshwater ecosystems are beautiful and fascinating. Through images and videos taken by a diver-biologist, your students will discover the intriguing world of food chains. From large loons and snapping turtles, to tiny daphnia, protozoa and bacteria: all of these organisms are part of complex food webs and each species has an impact on the others and on water quality.
