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!
