Microbes are everywhere! This site is a place for students to upload, share, and discuss field observations, microscopic images, and activity findings of environmental microbes inhabiting our backyards, favorite trails, parks, and schools. While sharing our field data, we are engaging and supporting the advancement of science and increasing our understanding of the amazing world of microbes!
