Blog #2

     I observed my  micro-aquarium for a second time on October 23rd.  After a week i really didn't notice much difference from last week.  I still saw little bubbles that looked like spiders bouncing around everywhere.  Last week the particles bouncing around everywhere really looked like spiders, but this week they were more of a bubble shape.  I noticed that the bubbles were mostly around the main stems of the plants.  On most of the main stems of both plants i noticed large dark green bubbles on them and im curious to figure out what those are, because i don't remember seeing those last week.  The pictures i got this week weren't the best and weren't worth putting up so i hope to get better ones next week now that i have more of an idea of what i am doing.

Blog number #1

     On October 14, 2014 we created our micro-aquarium.  Our  aquarium consist  of a clean glass slide, a stand that the slide sits in, and piece that covers the opening of the slide.  The piece that covers the top of the slide sticks to the top because of the blue stick glue we used.  I picked water #9 to use in my micro-aquarium, and got the chance to look at it under the microscope.  As I looked at it under different zooms of the microscope I noticed different things.  The main things I saw were small things jumping and moving around that looked like little spiders or something.  I am curious to find out and see under the microscope as time goes on.
