The MicroAquarium consists of the Aquarium (which is two pieces of microscope lenses that is real thick and deep), the base, and the lid. After selecting the water source, you extract a little bit of the soil out of the bottom of the water and add it to your aquarium. Then, you finish filling the aquarium up to about a quater of an inch away from the top with the water of the water source. Then, plants A and B was added into the aquarium on one on opposite ends.
Water Source:
Carter Mill Park at spring source, Carter Mill Road, Knox Co. Tennessee Partial shade exposure N36 01.168 W83 42.832 940 ft
Observations:
When looking at my MicroAquarium through the Microscope I was able to see some Nymatodes, transperant rotifers, debris, one thing looked like the cells that we have been looking at in previous labs, there was also a few things that would shoot across the screen, meanung they were very fast.
