When you think of a wetland (maybe a marsh, swamp, or small creek flowing from a pond), what living things come to mind? Most participants can probably name a few large animals and at least one or two plants. But, did they know that these large living organisms actually depend on tiny, even microscopic, plants and animals to survive. Without them, a wetland would not function the way it does. In this natural science JAM, partici- pants will each be given some sampling tools for collecting water samples and other natural materials in the stream behind the Museum. They will observe their “catch” through magnifiers and microscopes and learn about the amazing tiny things living and swimming in the creek!
