Microorganisms How Small Are They  

This post was edited by Mary Lavin on Mar, 2008
In this investigation, students examined images of various organisms, used ImageJ to find the size of each organism, recorded their data in Excel, and made graphs using Excel. After completing this investigation, students had a better sense of the various sizes of the microorganims they were examining microscopically.
