Brine Shrimp Experiment Report
My results to my findings to my brine shrimp experiment was started on 12-28-15, using 4 jars. Each jar contained water, salt, and brine shrimp eggs. I started by filling each jar with tap water and then adding salt. I added 1 TSP of salt and each jar added ½ TSP more of salt. In my experiment I noticed on the first day, 12-28-15, in all the jars the brine shrimp eggs were added to the 4 jars. Some observations I noticed were the eggs didn’t sink right away, they stayed on the surface for awhile. On the second day, 12-29-15, in jar 1 85% of the brine shrimp eggs hatched. In jar 2 75% of the brine shrimp eggs hatched. In jar 3 65% of the brine shrimp eggs hatched, and in jar 4 70% of the brine shrimp eggs hatched. All 4 of the jars had the same observations, they didn’t swim gracefully, they were on the side of the jar with more light, and there was still unhatched

For jar 2 15% of the brine shrimp eggs were still alive. For jar 3 8% of the brine shrimp eggs were still alive, and for jar 4 15% of the brine shrimp eggs were still alive. All 4 jars had the same observations, which were that they still didn’t swim gracefully, there is still unhatched eggs at the top and bottom, and they look smaller. On the 4th day of the experiment, 12-31-15, in jar 1 0% of the brine shrimp eggs were still alive. In jar 2 2% of the brine shrimp eggs were still hatched. In jar 3 there was also 2% of the brine shrimp still hatched, and for jar 4 there was 3% of the brine shrimp still hatched. The observations I noticed were the jars with eggs still in it, I noticed the hatched brine shrimp still didn’t swim gracefully and there was still unhatched eggs at the top and bottom. On the 5th day, 1-1-16, all 4 of the jars were at 0% for the amount of brine shrimp still alive. The observations I noticed for all the jars were that the water was dirty, with stuff floating in
