Observations
-We observed little daphnia swimming rapidly throughout the small amount of water we placed on our petri dish.
- We also observed a scud in the pond water.
- We noticed many larva traveling throughout the pond water, under the microscope.
- We found a snail which enjoyed moving around our petri dish when trying to take pictures. The snail left reminiscent from its slime as it traveled.
- The water appeared to have a blood worn which soon came into contact with the snail.
- In the pond water we also observed a baby snail whose shell had not yet been produced to its maturity.
- After setting the snails in our petri dish, they began to engage in sexual activity.
- Two adult snails became attached while in effort to reproduce.
- The blood worm often moved rapidly throughout the petri dish, striking the snails on a regular basis.
- Our pond water observation lab was very successful. We found many daphnia, scuds, larva, snails and a blood worm.
When we added the snails to our tank, our mino did not do anything. Our mino has stayed in the corner of our tank since it first was set in there. Till this day our snails are still alive, and have attached themselves to the side of the tank.
