Checked the growing of the slime molds after one week. Out of expectation, they grew in different directions and didn't form a specific shape. On the cube dish, slime molds grew around 2 of the oats; on the circle dish, they grew around 4 of the oats with different amounts. However, something interesting is that they both grew on the walls of the dishes and seemed like trees. | Checked the growing of the slime molds after one week.

Growing slime molds on a face-like pattern. According to the situations they grow, it can be imagined as different hair styles or beard and so on. Also, it can be imagined people will be in different emotions (happiness, sadness ,confusing...)according to the all kinds of hair styles. | IDEA | ||

Revision as of 14:51, 31 January 2018
SLIME MOLDS
Color: Yellow
Size: Depending on growing
Species: Single-celled organism(belonging to the kingdom of the amoeba)
Ability: Joining together with other cells to form a mass super-cell connective net to maximise its resources
Habitat: Dark, damp and warm place(naturally foraging in woodlands)
Favorite food: Porridge oats(naturally eating rotting vegetation)
Character: Mapping its territory, knowing itself, and move with seeming intention
Intelligence support: The continuous, synchronous oscillation within the cell (A vein-like structure carrying cellular material, nutrients and chemical information through the cell, streaming first in one direction and then back in another. The continuous, synchronous oscillation within the cell.)
Motto: No Brains, No Feet, No Problem
"Achievement": Building Tokyo rail system in one day; Providing references for Artificial Intelligence.
Experiment with different medium
First try - Agar medium and paper on December
December 13th
Extracted the slime molds in three different dishes on the agar medium. One is the tube with oats randomly on the wall of the tube. The second one is the dish with a piece of cutting paper and the oats on the head. The last one is the dish with 5 oats in a line.
December 14th - December 20th Observation GIF
Summary:
1. The trails of the slime molds growing became white from yellow, also they grow so fast and I didn't document the processing of the changes. According to the observation, they moved as a group and was always in connection. For observing much more movement, I would try to change the times of observation and documents.
2.Slime molds didn't grow out of my expectation in a dispersed way. They grew towards different directions in different time (from right side to left, and back to right ), rather than spreading to all directions at the same time.
3.I tried use the tube with agar full of inside to grow slime molds. Unfortunately, slime molds were only alive around one piece of oat, and becoming sick 7days later. The difference from the living of slime molds is air.
Second try - Agar medium with mushroom 10th January-17th January
Third try - Only Agar medium 17th January-24th January
October 25th
Learned about slime molds. Extracted slim molds on the agar medium in two plastic culture dishes, one fed by oats in a cube shape and another in circle shape. And I intended to find out if they can grow in the way I expected.
November 1st
Checked the growing of the slime molds after one week. Out of expectation, they grew in different directions and didn't form a specific shape. On the cube dish, slime molds grew around 2 of the oats; on the circle dish, they grew around 4 of the oats with different amounts. However, something interesting is that they both grew on the walls of the dishes and seemed like trees.
IDEA
Growing slime molds on a face-like pattern. According to the situations they grow, it can be imagined as different hair styles or beard and so on. Also, it can be imagined people will be in different emotions (happiness, sadness ,confusing...)according to the all kinds of hair styles.
December 20th
