One of my seven-year-old’s favorite words is “microscopic.” Does your kid have favorite words like that? He’s always talking about microscopic this and that. So when I found this short video, I thought he’d like it, and he sure did! It’s really interesting too. If you have an older child or adult in your house interested in this subject, I recently heard a good program on NPR about this subject. They are doing a series.
(If you subscribe to my blog by e-mail, you may have to view this post on the Internet to see the video.)
You can view all of our Inspire Kids videos by clicking on the Inspire Kids tag. If my seven-year-old likes it, then maybe your children will too!

Fun video! You have great links 🙂 My son loves HUGE numbers like quintillion ( 10 to the 18th power). “What would happen if we made a quintillion cookies?” and decillion (10 to the 30th): “what if there was a decillion cars on the road” or, his favorite, centillion (10 to the 303), as in “I wish I had a centillion airplanes”
On an unrelated note, I finally got around to posting about the School of Ants project 🙂 Thanks for the idea!
