Meet the Micro-Warrior: The Unkillable Water Bear!
Ever wondered who would win in a survival contest between a dinosaur, a space traveller, and a tiny speck of moss? Hint: it’s the one with eight legs and a face only a microscope could love!
In this immersive, first-person lesson, your spellers will step into the tiny shoes (all eight of them!) of the tardigrade. From surviving the vacuum of outer space and boiling volcanic vents to “time-travelling” through decades of deep freeze, this “moss piglet” tells the incredible story of Earth’s most resilient resident.
Perfect for curious minds who love a good underdog story, this lesson proves that you don’t have to be big to be legendary. Grab your magnifying glass and get ready to meet your new favourite extremophile!
