2nd Observatory

Observatory:
  1. Stationary vs. Moving organisms- Few stationary organisms with many moving organisms. 90% moving organisms. Pseudopia moving at a faster rate. Nematode and Cilia moving more. Identification confirmed of stationary Planaria.
  2. Description of motion- Remain circular/random movement for Pseudopodia, however did move to different areas. Nematodes and Cilia had random, fast movement. Planeria was stationary with a constant whipping tail. 
  3. Single celled vs. Multicellular organisms- Pseudopia growth. Still single celled? Nematodes and cilia single celled. Planaria is single celled. 
  4. Chlorophy green vs. non-green organisms- Brown micro aquarium. Some greenish-brown areas and organisms. Non-green organisms as well as areas. 
  5. Habitat preference- Habitat is still mostly in the middle but some have begun to dwell around the sides of the micro aquarium. Mostly around the glue. Some movement.
  6. Number of organisms- Many organisms all together. Substantial growth for each organism.
