week 2

There seemed to be more moving organisms than there were stationary. I found an organism called Cercomonas. It had two flagellates and the front one moved it. This organism was multicellular which most of everything I saw was multicellular. I didn't see many chlorophyll green organisms. The organisms that I saw were mainly in the middle. I only saw one of this kind of organism.

Week 1

We set up our MicroAquarium and looked at them. My water came from the French Broad river. It includes the all three plants: Fontinalis sp. Amblestegium varium (Hedwig) Lindberg. Utricularia gibba. I found lots of moving organisms and some stationary. The moving organisms were moving in an S pattern. I used a motion like a worm. All of them were multicellular and  were non-green. I find some organisms in the middle and bottom of the aquarium. I saw two dinoflagellates and one that might have been a mosquito larva.
