Algae Search Lab

Students will observe organisms found in algae. These organisms are a good food source for your fish. Students will identify, take a picture using a microscope, collect and add to aquariums. Record you observations as you add organisms to aquarium water. What did your fish do when you added them? How many survived being eaten?

Observations: Fish tried to eat the snails I added. I put them in at the bottom of the tank. They're alive, they stick to the back. And with the black background, you probably cant see them.

Here's a leech Ms. Wood found in one of the samples of the water.

My camera doesn't take very good pictures but I did see some seed shrimp and scuds.
