data so far

today i collected my second set of data points. Surprisingly the brine shrimp have still not hatched in the containers with the cleaners. The ones in water did hatch however and are at a population size of 72.5 brine shrimp per ml of water. I turned my research paper in on time yesterday and I made a lot of changes to that.

Problem

Today as I was double checking the salt content in my buckets I encountered a few issues. One was that lysol had a starting salt level similar to what I needed which I had not accounted for. Also the instructions were not right because the salt quantity was to low for the brine shrimp to live in when I put in the amount that they said to.

starting

today i put my materials into the containers and tomorrow will put the brine shrimp in. I hope that they hatch in the windex and lysol and am a little worried about that. I also have to remember to put the salt in or else they won't hatch at all. I also have to start up again on my research paper I have a bunch of corrections to do for that.

Experimental Design

I had a setback today as my experimental design got shot down. It should be easy to fix but I have a little more research to do. I also have to be working on my research paper at the same time so it is a lot to do. I should be able to finish soon though because it is not that much. I am also kind of sick but I am trying to stay in school so I do not get to far behind.

Tanks

Today I am buying my tanks. Tomorrow I will finally set up my experiment. Yesterday I went to 2 different stores and could not find a tank for the brine shrimp. Although I do feel a little behind because I am still setting up my experiment I should be okay as long as I get started this week. I hope I can find my tanks today.

Starting my experiment

I am starting my experiment tomorrow I hope. I finished my experimental design, and am buying my tanks today. My experiment is underway and I am making a lot of small decisions that will have a big effect on my experiment.
