And then there was life.

So, it's been one week since the beginning of our project. When the aquarium was first established the population of the tank ranged from few to none. On October 22, 2010, I checked on the aquarium again and found that the population of the tank had grown exponentially. The organisms that I found to be in the tank on the day I inspected it were, several species of protozoa, 3 snails, several amoebas, 2 shelled amoebas, diatoms, euglenoids, and 4 crustacea (cyclops).

step 1.

We started our term project for Bio 111 today. It incorporates students obtaining water samples from different sources around the state. We built our aquariums and filled them with different plants also from around the state. The water source i used for my aquarium was sample number 10- water pool below spring. Lynnhurst Cemetery.
