Today's Science Experiment
Today, I have an science experiment that is currently in progress. In this experiment, I had to grind up fresh pineapple and put 1 tablespoon in a bowl. Then I cooked the rest of the ground pineapple on the stove and put 1 tablespoon of that in another bowl. 1 bowl had nothing in it. Then my mom made jello and put the mix in the three bowls. Then we refrigerated it and are waiting for it to be ready. In case you haven't already guessed, this experiment is about enzymes. I will post the results tomorrow.

Stentor
"Stentor" is a protozoan, a ciliate, (phylum ciliaphora) to be precise. Stentor is the worlds largest single-celled organism. It can reach a length of up to 1/10 of an inch long. This really is a macroscopic cell. Stentor is so large that it eats just about everything else in the microscopic world. Stentor is commonly found in fresh water (like pond water) and you dont need a microscope to find it.
