Entry 1, Day 1

Challenge 1: Culture

Culturing the Physarum started by pouring a layer of liquid agar into a petri dish. After placing in the nutrients for the Physarum to absorb, we received a portion of the "mother physarum" in Professor Teuscher's possession. We then labeled the petri dish and closed it.

Wrapping it in tin foil, we then waited for it a larger sample of Physarum to manifest.


Planning for the next challenge, we decided to bring 3 different substances to submerge oat flakes in. We decided upon honey, lemon juice, and salt.
