Observación 9

April 7, 2015 Terrarium Update  La primer cose que note, es que ay otras formas de vida presente en el terrario. Veo tres caracoles bebes handing on to dear life on the side walls of the terrarium. There is a big snail who has made it almost to the top of the water in the terrarium. Wait! I see two more snails munching on the algae! Son bien chiquitos pero algún día serán adultos. The string has deteriorated and is resting on the rocky floor. The tip of the string is barely touching the surface of the water. I wonder what will happen to the soil and condensation on the top floor. The plants are steady growing and beginning to hit the ceiling and grow down from the lack of space. Some that have hit the top are turning black. We are interested in knowing what will happen if we put one whole in the terrarium in the top half of the terrarium. Here is a picture of the hole we made. We predict that the condensation will change because we will then be opening the system. We have placed the terrarium back in the spot where we have always had it in the sun by the window. I wonder what will happen to the weight now that the system is open... The weight for this week: 1kg 516 grams El caracol parce ser el lone survivor  The plantas verdes siguen alimentandose good ya que no paran de crecer  The bottom of the stem is darker than the top The algae is greener than ever thanks to H2O We made a small hole to see what happens to the weight

10th Observation

The upper level of our terrarium is raining leafs. Parece como si fuera el otoño porque varias hojas de están cayendo y muriendo debido al color oscuro. Also, we have noticed that the stems at the bottom are a bit darker compared to the upper stems. Parte de las hojas que todavía están arriba siguen creciendo y produciendo un color verde mientras que otras se están muriendo. Their quality is deteriorating. El molde aparece en donde las hojas dejaron sus huellas.

The bottom level of our terrarium continues to have clear water. Aunque no hay vida de animales presente, las hojas crecen, crecen, crecen y crecen. Their color is dark green like the color of the grass we see outside of SZB right now. No podemos observar más escombros ya que la descomposición de los animales no tomó mucho tiempo. The roots at the very bottom of our terrarium are less as it appears that some of them are now visible from the top of the rocks.

El peso de nuestro terrario es: 1,507 g. It appears that the weight has gradually decreased from the very beginning of our experiment.

Las huellas que dejan las hojas y el model que se forma

Dead leafs that didn't get enough nutrition

Clear as clear can be... No sign of animal debri

Some leafs are living the green life while others not so much
