Algae Observation Lab

The algae search lab was a really interesting lab! I enjoyed doing this lab and seeing all the organisms through the microscope. What made the lab even better from just seeing the organisms, was that all that we could see were the ones that we have been studying, so it was easy to identify the organisms.
When we took samples of just the water we were able to capture very few organisms. When we took pieces of the algae to put in the dish, we were able to see many more! Some that we could identify were the copepods and larva. When we added the organisms to the water, the turtle did not react, and we could not see that any of them had been eaten.
