We are all familiar with what we can see with the naked
eye but
often it is
what we cannot see that impacts on our lives the most. There is a
world
inhabited by millions of living creatures just underneath the sole
of a
shoe. We will investigate this world and discover many new things
about it
by using cutting edge forensic techniques. Each creature on this
planet has
a barcode in their DNA that can tell us what it is and who it's friends
are
without us even having to see it. We can use these barcodes to discover
which organisms inhabit certain environments and who else shares
these
environments with them. Join us for an exciting journey in Science
and
learn how to use those techniques you've seen on TV to discover
new things
about your environment and the microscopic creatures that inhabit
it.
