Observation day 4, Phytoplankton


 *Phytoplankton Observations*
Site 1 
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The goal of this day outside was to find as many examples of phytoplankton as possible! What we were looking for was algae, which is a type of phytoplankton. As you can see in this picture above, we succeeded this goal. The plants in this pond are covered in algae. This algae is a brownish-green color.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The picture above is the same pond, just a different location. At this site, there was a nice little breeze and it was warm enough that no jacket was needed. The only noises to be heard here were the rustling of leaves.
