Week 2 Oct 21




During Week 2 I observed many more organisms than the previous week. I discoverd things like bacteria that have started growing a little bit.I found some annelids these worms had a segment body with pink spots on the body. I also had Epistyles and Amoeba under the microscope. I also notice this week that everything was moving in a fast passed. Next week I hope to continue to find more interesting things in the microaquarium. Source for photo and video Grinis, Kenneth, and Bruce J Russell. Guide to Microlife. 1996. 156. Print.
