Parents’ guide ↗What lives in soil, water, food, and on our bodies but is usually too small to see? This curious kids’ song introduces bacteria as tiny single-celled organisms, explores how certain bacteria help make yogurt, and explains how washing with soap and water reduces the spread of microbes.
Original explanations based on the cited sources.
Bacteria are single-celled organisms without a cell nucleus. Many are useful or harmless; only some cause disease.
Sources
Microorganisms are organisms usually too small to see without a microscope, such as bacteria and yeasts. They are not all single-celled or disease-causing.
Sources
