In MicroQuest, kids discover the tiny world of microbes – lovingly illustrated, explained in a child-friendly way, and fully voiced. How exploring becomes an adventure: COLLECT Move your microscope through pond, sea, skin, yogurt, soil and more. 30 real microbes are waiting to be discovered – from the paramecium to the tardigrade. Some are common, others rare or even legendary. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY Find of the Day shows you a special creature every day – catch it to earn bonus food for your station.
