http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/moviegallery/pondscum/protozoa/vorticella/56k/vorticella11.html.  Click on the play button to watch a video of some protozoa.  The Tuesday class saw one of these Vorticella species in action under the microscope.  You will also notice other species of protozoa swimming past.  The very small dots that are moving are bacteria.

Watch an amoeba move and engulf some food at http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/moviegallery/pondscum/protozoa/amoeba/56k/amoeba05.html.  Amoeba move by oozing.

View euglena at http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/moviegallery/pondscum/protozoa/euglena/rostrifera/56k/rostrifera07.html.  The euglena are the bright greenish-yellow organisms.  They have the capability to make their own food through photosynthesis.  Euglena move by means of a flagella -- a whip-like structure that works sort of like a propeller.

Visit http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/moviegallery/pondscum/protozoa/paramecium/56k/paramecium07.html to see a video of a paramecium moving.  Paramecia move by means of cilia, which are tiny hair-like appendages which beat together, moving the organism, sort of like a group of rowers can move a ship with oars.
