Pond Water Experiment Jul 1, 2009

Pond water + sun + four weeks = ?

I’m hoping that little Spore-like creatures appear, or at the very least, the water will turn green. Sometimes it’s nice to let go and let nature do its thing. I’ll post close-up photos of the jars in four weeks.

    seems fun. cant wait till the month ends.

    you might want to open up the lid or have holes somewhere on it. for gaseous exchange, I guess. lol.

    hah i did this as a science project in the 5th grade :D! grab a microscope, you’ll see some awesome stuff!

    Yeah, if you didn’t open the lids a bit, you may have a nasty surprise awaiting you in the form of an anaerobic bacteria takeover in those jars! Also, if they were left outdoors, jars like that basically become little steam ovens in the sunlight, cooking most interesting stuff.

    Nonetheless, if you wanna borrow a microscope, I gots the hookup ;)

    Looking forward to see the outcome of this. Are these still sitting out there in the sun or have you gotten your results yet?

    i’m guessing the creature that grew out of the pond water experiment has taken over and has no use for blogging ;)

    Man, I hope he didn’t drink it.
