"Min is a microbe. She is small. Very small. In fact, so small that you'd need to look through a microscope to see her. Or you can simply open this book and take Min on an adventure to amazing places she's never seen before-- like the icy glaciers of your tooth or the twisted, tangled jungle of your shirt"--OCLC.

Readers will explore gooey science experiments.

Readers will have fun learning some gross experiments.

An illustrated exploration of microorganisms and the history of their discovery.

Hands-on smelly experiments are sure to make learning fun. Explore smelly science with sensory science experiments.

"The team from . . . kids' science podcast Brains On! brings readers a humorous, fact-filled look at all things biology--from animals and plants to the human body and the microverse"--Provided by publisher.

Readers will learn how genetic variation results from gene mutations and sexual reproduction, as well as how asexual reproduction works, which will allow them to understand how an organism's functions depend on its specific gene structure.

"Within our bodies hides an entire world of organisms called microbes. They digest our food and protect our immune systems, and without them, we would die. Through Katie Brosnan's personable illustrations, we follow the digestive process from the moment the food enters our mouths to the moment the waste leaves our bodies. Along the way we are introduced to a variety of microbes--good and bad--and gain an insight into the vast ecosystem that exists inside us. Scientists are only now beginning to comprehend the significance of our microbiome. This is a gorgeously presented introduction to a most fascinating scientific frontier"--OCLC.

Introduces the characteristics of a variety of microscopic plants and animals and discusses the techniques and equipment needed to study them.

After an extraterrestrial microbe nearly killed the human race decades ago, the Fairchild Air Force Base is waiting for the strain to reappear. With the project on the verge of shutting down, they have detected the signature of the deadly microparticle. The team from around the world is dispatched to contain and eliminate the threat. But this strain is growing and evolving.
