I started by taking a sample of soil from my selected water source ( Carter Mill Park). I then filled my micro aquarium with to a couple milliliters with the soil sample. Next I added some water from the source to the micro aquarium so that it was almost filled to the top. After, I added plants to the micro aquarium and they were as follows: Amblestegium varium, Fontinalis sp and Utricularia gibba. When all the plants were added, I placed it under my microscope and began observing it. While observing with the different lens, I was only able to see the plant structure and some of the smaller parts that made it up like cell walls and at certain instances nucleus.
Stay tuned to see if I find any little, living creatures during my next adventure!
