MicroA

Set up micro-aquarium on Wednesday with a sample from a pond at Sterchi Hills Greenway. Added to the water was two plants: Amblystegium varium, which is Lindb. Moss, collected from a natural spring with exposure to partial shade in Carter's Mill Park; Utricularia gibba L., a carnivorous plant. Also in class looked I was able to observe it under a microscope for the first time. While under the microscope I could see tiny green particles moving inside the bladder of one of the plants that was added to the micro-aquarium as well. Even without the microscope I was able to see tiny particles moving and saw something that resembled a small worm. Hopefully next week there will be some change throughout the aquarium.
