I. In Mrs. Loher's room I looked through the microscope at some of the water from the tank with the water bug. At first I had the microscope focused so I could see the cells of the duckweed which looked like -- instead of being squares -- they looked like circles. And then I noticed that whatever the little creatures were in the water, they could somehow move around through what looked like jet propulsion and had small little tails. I could faintly see what looked like their internal organs, but it was kind of hard.
II. There are two beaver lodges by my house. One is right by the mouth of Hoisington Brook, and the other is in a swamp out back of and old red house near us. We can see the one by the brook from our living room. The one by the brook washes away sometimes when the brook gets too strong. Last spring I saw one of the beavers probably from the swamp over by the marina. I have also seen muskrats and minks and many other creatures near the marina.
