Micro-organisms
This is a general name for living things that are too small to see with the naked eye. They belong to several different kingdoms, including Fungi (like yeast) and Bacteria.
Key Characteristics:
- They are microscopic (you need a microscope to see them).
- They are found everywhere: in the air, in water, in the soil, and even on and inside your body.
💡 Fun Facts
- Not all micro-organisms are 'germs'. Many are very helpful. We use yeast (a fungus) to make bread rise and bacteria to make yoghurt.
- There are more bacteria in your mouth right now than there are people in the world.
- A single teaspoon of garden soil can contain over a BILLION micro-organisms.
