In Protists, students delve into the question-filled world of these mysterious simple organisms. Learn the importance of the hard-shelled diatoms and the uses of the multicelled kelp, and meet the most complex single-celled organism of all -- the paramecium. A hands-on investigation will turn students into science sleuths as they observe the plant-like and animal-like characteristics of the protist Euglena.
