EcoTower Observation 3 4/8/11

On Friday 4/8/11, we had to do our EcoTower observations like we do every Friday. I went to go and get our EcoTower and brought it back the the table. I sat it down and started to look and see what all has happened in the tower and what all has grown. The algae is no longer standing up right it is laying on the rocks on the floor of the bottle. The water is really cloudy and starting to get a lot darker and more cloudy. The algae is slowly breaking down and decomposing into little pieces. The beans seem to be growing very well still. Even though there is no other sign of life in our groups EcoTower the beans are doing a good job of still growing and living well. The plants have grown bigger and taller over the time period since the last time we looked at the EcoTower. The guppies have completely decomposed and they're little pieces floating around on the bottom of the bottle. They're pieces of algae that has started to fall apart and started to float around in the water. The grass has became completely brown and looks like if you would touch it that it would break into millions of pieces. The decomposed worm is still laying there in the same spot and has not fully decomposed yet. It has a hint of red around the worm and looks like it is bleeding everywhere. There is still some green and blue around the worm but not much because there doesn't look like there is much worm left. I think next week that the beans will have grown a lot more and the algae will still be decomposing and wont be much left in the EcoTower wish our tower, the fish,worms,crickets,grass an the algae would have lasted longer than a week like it did.
