I received a MicroAquarium(TM) and labeled it in this manner: Because I am in the evening class, first I placed a blue dot on my MicroAquarium(TM), then I placed a red dot beneath it because that is the color my table was assigned. Finally, I placed an orange dot on my MicroAquarium(TM) because I was in the third seat of my table.

The sample contained in my MicroAquarium(TM) was taken from an Elodea plant. A sample was taken from the bottom of its container, from the middle, and from the top. I also added Moss B and Wolffia to my MicroAquarium(TM).

When I observed the contents of my MicroAquarium(TM) under a microscope at the 10x magnification setting. There were some nematodes, euplotes which kept spinning, green, brown, and clear tubular things that contained what were either chloroplasts, algae, or cyanobacteria, and brown and black dots. I also observed Moss B, and found that it had tiny leaves and also larger brown dots next to the leaves. The Wolffia plant had long strands of green, and also small, round, green things attached to them periodically. I drew sketches of what I saw so that I would remember what they look like, but they were not very good so I did not post them.
