In an uplifting video on social media, the content creator shared some mesmerizing footage of a tiny critter that lives in water. We have to say, for a microorganism, it’s pretty darn cute! During the clip, the scientist wrote a series of positive affirmations that are sure to make you feel better about yourself. @mikecroscope “We’ll pull through this, together. It’s gonna be okay.” Said the waterbear #live #goinglive #livestream #tardigrade #waterbear #science #microscope #microbio #microbiology #microorganisms #learn #sciencecommunication #atomicforgedagency #mikecroscope ♬ Magie des fleurs – Fjellson Weber “You have good qualities,” reads the text. “You are likable.” The message continues, “Your friends don’t secretly hate you. You belong.” What is a water bear? Although this tiny water bear is undeniably magical-looking, you probably want to know what this creature actually is before you start taking life advice from it. According to Live Science, “water bear” is a nickname used to describe microorganisms called tardigrades. These practically imperceptible beings only grow to be about the size of a period. Their diet consists mainly of plants, fungi, and algae. What makes these little guys especially cool is their ability to survive in the most inhospitable circumstances. When their environment lacks the proper conditions, like enough moisture or oxygen, they simply dehydrate themselves and effectively put their metabolism on pause. In this state, they can ride out a hundred years! In other words, water bears know a thing or two about surviving difficult situations. So, if this microorganism believes that you can make it, then you should, too! Screengrab from TikTok Commenters loved this scientist’s affirmations delivered via water bear. In fact, some people said they actually felt better after watching the video! “I have had a rough day and this made me cry, in a good way,” wrote one user. Another added, “Needed to hear that today. Thank you.” We hope this water bear’s positive words inspire you to practice self-love! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Ryan Brazil is reminding us all that a simple lesson can sometimes be the most powerful. As a teacher to 4th graders, she’s responsible for educating them on a variety of subjects. So, when students expressed that her choices don’t always seem “fair,” she took a pause. As a result, she was able to give them an insightful lesson on what being “fair” actually means. To start, she asks if anyone knows how to define the word “fair.” Several kids raised their hands, but the one who was chosen explained it as being “equal.” From here, Ryan asked two students to get something for her. Although we don’t see what the item is in the video, we do know that it’s fairly high up. As a result, both students have different experiences with completing the task they were given. See how Ryan responded in the video below. @4thgrade.enthusiast Fair means everyone gets what THEY need to be successful #teacher #teachersoftiktok #teachers #teaching #teacherlife #equity #equality #fair #teacherhack ♬ original sound – 4th Grade Enthusiast By choosing both a tall and short student, Ryan was able to demonstrate needing additional support looks like. While it’s technically not “fair” that the tall student didn’t get a chair to stand on, it’s what the short student needed to complete the task. 4th Grade Teacher’s Brilliant Lesson on Being “Fair” Perfectly Showcases the Need for Equity In other words, she explained the difference between equality (everyone gets the same resources) and equity (everyone gets different resources based on what they need to be successful). While this concept can be complex, she was able to explain it in a way that these 4th graders understood. “From a special education teacher. I am forever stealing this. You are so well spoken and that was explained so well at their level,” someone shares in the comments, with another adding, “Perfectly encapsulated. And I would add, ‘and you don’t have all the info you need in order to know what that other student needs. You can only know what you need.'” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
