Excellent overview of how to obtain free samples of the roundworm C. elegans, how to care for it, and how observe it using a digital microscope. All activities described can also be done using a standard light microscope. Students develop their own inquiry lessons using this easy-to-care for organism as they learn genetics, anatomy, and physiology. High ability students will be both challenged and intrigued as they work as scientific researchers to study and draw conclusions about C.elegans.
