IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!

INTRODUCTION

In the previous unit, you learned that the universe is a pretty BIG place. You also learned that there are some pretty awesome, BIG things in our Universe. Perhaps studying all of those BIG things made you feel rather small. But that is about to change. In this unit, you will find that there are also some pretty fascinating things at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Did you know that there are living things in your mouth? Okay, of course you knew that. You brush your teeth everyday to get rid of them. But just how many of these little guys live in your mouth? Exactly what are they, and how did they get there in the first place?

You are about to embark on a journey to the small world. It is a journey that will take you to a world that is very strange and mysterious. It is a world that, like it or not, surrounds you and is part of you. Welcome aboard. Welcome to the world of little, tiny, living things.
