How To Get Your Class Interested In Foraminifera

By Lisa Meyer


It is always nice when you can find something that is educational, particularly for the young ones. It is easy to forget just how steeped in wonder the natural world is when we get too caught up in the day-to-day. It is a great idea to get young people's curiosity sparked by showing them something like foraminifera, also commonly called forams.

Some people simply cannot learn new information when they just have to sit and listen to somebody give a lecture on it. There are plenty of people who find that more hands-on approaches to learning are more effective. That is a great reason to try out looking at these organisms under a microscope in the classroom.

There are so many things that you can learn online about these types of products. It definitely makes it a lot easier to figure out what you are looking for when you do things this way. When you do your research online, you will also get to learn everything on your own time and can allow yourself to be completely comfortable as you browse from page to page.

It is very helpful to know that most of these organisms are aquatic creatures. Most of them can be found in the oceans, and there is a great deal that lives on the life that exists at the bottom of the seas. Since there are so few of these creatures that live on land, the best way to acquire some is in the water, and from there you can just drop it onto a slide.

You can usually learn a lot if you just look at some helpful pictures or diagrams. These will often explain things better than words will if you are not very familiar with this type of thing. When you can look at a picture, and particularly when you can fill in parts of a diagram, it makes this whole topic a lot easier to understand.

The test is a part of this organism that helps to protect it. It is a sort of shell that covers the middle part. Depending on the diet of this organism, it might be made up of different materials.

The way that this creature eats is certainly a sight to behold. A membrane that surrounds it goes off in many little arms that resemble fibers or hairs. These are used for many different purposes, but one of the main ones is bringing in things for this organism to eat.

Some people wonder why they can't see these things with their naked eye. The truth, although obvious as it might seem, is simply that they are too small. Being only single-celled organism, they are much too tiny for a person to be able to look at unless they have special magnification tools like a microscope.
