Week #1 - MicroAquarium Setup

On Tuesday, October 12th, I set up my micro aquarium. Each student was given one and then allowed to put in a small amount of water from a source of their choosing. My water source came from the Tennessee River:

8. Tennessee River at boat ramp across from Knoxville sewer plant

I then briefly observed my sample, seeing several small organisms. My posts in the following weeks will be focusing on identifying these organisms and monitoring what they do.
