Congress was impressed with your presentation! They will take your recommendation under advisement and let the scientists know by the end of the week. You should be proud of yourselves! You have learned all about an amazing organism that is important to our ecology, to paleontology, to artists, and to our future. You practiced PowerPoint skills and group cooperation. You explored specimens magnified with yet another kind of microscope, the scanning electron microscope. Maybe you want to now expand your radiolarian horizons: >> Create your own art inspired by this unique organism. >> Let radiolarians lead you to investigate another protozoan or microfossil. >> Consider checking out the band called Radiolaria. They have a specimen image on their CD case! >> You might be inspired to take a trip to visit the Museum of Bostons scanning electron microscope in person. Volunteers give demonstrations almost every day. Have fun exploring!
