Week 1

On 10/13/09, we began our Botany Term Project!
- I extracted a pipette full of a water/soil mix from the # 13 jar
- I took a small chunk of plant A from the specimen jar and put it one side of my mini aquarium
- Next, I took a small piece of Plant B from the other specimen jar and put it on the opposite side of my mini aquarium.
- Then, I observed all the activity.

I found lots of bacteria swimming around the plants. There were globular organisms that appeared to move via scillia all around it. I also saw teardrop-shaped bacteria that swam in a spiral motion with the use of a single visible flagella located at the back of the organism.
