4About it
A paramecium is a living thing made of a single cell, shaped a bit like a slipper, that lives in ponds and puddles. It is covered in thousands of tiny hairs called cilia, which beat in waves like oars to row it through the water. A groove in its side sweeps in bacteria to eat.
Tap it and its cilia beat hard as it swims a full loop and comes back to where it was. A paramecium is just big enough to see with a magnifying glass, as a tiny moving speck.
