1.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 ) | 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. | |||

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 | ||
