Wow! What are Daphnia? Take a Look!


The students were so excited today in science as we had a new visitor. So far we have done insects and land animals. Today we had our first water animal called a daphnia. The students were amazed that they looked transparent and you could see their digestive track AND eggs!! It was also very amazing that the daphnia have antennae that look like tree branches. Very cool!!! I thought I would share a picture of them so you know what they look like as well. The students also learned what an "exoskeleton" was, as daphnia have them. Do you know what that is???
