A couple of weeks ago we took our kids to a science day where they learned to write code for robots. Also, they had a Bio Lab where they practiced DNA extraction from banana and learned how to grow bacteria from their fingers on agar plates. After a few weeks the agar plats had turned into an interesting compilation of disgusting things. Of course, that had to be examined through a microscope. Here are some images:

Re: Bio Lab for Kids
That looks like a fun day!
Those may be Staphylococcus species, which are commensals on human skin. You may be able to exact their DNA at home with a lab kit, then send DNA for commercial sequencing/identification to find out which species. It should not be too expensive nowadays.

Fantastic to see your young family imbued with our worlds charms,hkv. So much is bekoning our children with the explosion of technology/the arts/the one-world understanding...good to keep things in perspective...it moves along very fast! Charlie guevara
Re: Bio Lab for Kids
Great day with your kids. To me they look like egg yokes - not your kids
