Week 2

(Pennak p.157)
This little thing was neat how it swam around. It moved very smoothly through the water.

(Wards 1984)
This one moved in a jerky type motion. It must not be able to see because it ran over everything and got cough up in several things. And when Ken tells you that you have seen this before, believe him or he will make you feel dumb.

(Pennak p.171)
This reminded me of a tadpole the way it swam around.

(Wards 1998)
This thing was cool. It come out and look like this cone you see here and then it would disappear. It did this over and over.

(Patterson p.113)
This was my favorite. It acted like a powerful vacuum cleaner.

   A lot has changed from my first day of setting up the micro aquarium. This is the first time I have had a chance to really observe what is going on in there. I spent over 2 hours in the lab looking around in my aquarium. As you can see there are all kinds of little things in there.

   Not sure if I have more or less organisms in the aquarium since I didn't have time to really observe it the first day.

    I have not found any dead organisms in my aquarium.
