DAY EIGHT

November 4, 2013

Narrative: 

From last week to this week, our plant has seemed to wither even more. The same stem is still very brown, while the others are green. However, more of the leaves are browning and transparent. There are only one or two green leaves left on our plant. The rest of the leaves aren't looking so great. We spotted eight snails, but we didn't see any daphnia. Our water has become a lot more murky, so it would be hard to tell daphnia from random floaters anyway. We have four elodea plants in our water. Three of our elodea plants look just as healthy as ever, while one elodea plant is starting to brown. Altogether, our ecosystem is starting to look a bit weathered. 

Observations:

Here you can see that most of our leaves are brown and transparent, while one or two leaves thrive.

In this picture you can see the one brown elodea plant. You can also see a few of the snails that are living in our ecosystem. I'm not sure if you can see that poor water quality through this photo.

Predictions:

At this point, we are worried what condition our plant will be in next week!
