Through exploring this research I discovered that Nematodes eat each other and I became fascinated whether they would eat their offspring. While following this research direction I tried to cultivate Nematodes so that I could begin to work and experiment with them hands on and physically. Unfortunately this was not such a success and I found myself disappointment when I was finally able to see Nematodes under the microscope. I had anticipated that the movements of the Nematode would be much more thrilling and exciting, but this was not the case, I was left rather under-whelmed. | ||
But at this moment of dissatisfaction I meet SLIME MOULD and was completely overwhelmed and excited by this very visual moving and growing cell. As a result I started to research and explore slime mould both with hands on experiments and book research. | |||
Now my project is currently exploring the relationship between slime mould with the introduction of colour pigments both to the slime moulds food source and to its environment. | |||
