JWU Microbiology & Chemistry Lab This is our organismal biology laboratory. Our students were examining micro-invertebrates (small animals without backbones). They looked at brown planarians (flatworms) that have amazing regenerative powers, daphnia (water flea) which has a clear carapace so you can see the internal organs, rotifers, and tardigrades (or water bears) that have gone to space and back. This begins the lab section on the animal kingdom which helps to prepare students for further studies in anatomy and physiology. #IamJWU
