Oddly fewer numbers of organisms seemed to exist this week. The Cyclops, Seed Shrimp, Algae and Rotifer still remain and plenty active. Below you can see a few pictures of these organisms.

The following video is a large Vorticellum mass. This mass of organisms is very sensitive. The explosive point in the video is when Dr. McFarland slightly tapped the microscope.
