Week 5 

The state of our water does not seem any more murky, and after comparing the water to our pictures from last week it even looks a little clearer.  There are still fragments of rope floating around in the water and the elodia continues to grow.  It is still a bright green with nice big leaves.  

Our guppy still seems healthy and swimming around as well as the snail who crawls all over the bottle every few minutes.  They are both very active and we hope they continue to thrive in our terrarium.  

We still have one bean plant that has grown a few centimeters from last week and has grown a few more leaves.  Only one of our three beans have grown, so we believe our prediction that the other two beans fell through to the water is true.  The hole is so small that we are still very unsure of how this happened, but there is a clear bean looking object at the bottom of our bottle with the skin of the bean also floating around.  

This week, instead of taking a picture of our terrarium we each did a drawing.  Although this seems like we are not getting as good of an image of our project, it actually encouraged us to focus much more on the terrarium and all of the details than if we took a quick snap of the picture.  We were drawing the terrarium from different angles, but we both have the same important details. Our Terrarium weighs 1.564 kg
