Eco Tower Observation #3

I observed along with my fellow group members that: the guppies have completely decomposed and the body parts are in pieces floating in the water. The worm has turned a reddish, brown color and all the crickets are dead, so are all the worms. The snails are dead as well. The beans seem to be very well still, four out of the five of them are growing in their correct position. The other one is still growing but its bottom and roots are still out of the soil but the head is still find of buried in the soil, and they are all about 3 1/2 to 4 inches tall. Algae is no longer staying up: they are floating on the waters surface. The water is really cloudy and the algae is slowly breaking down/ decomposing into little pieces. The grass has turned dark brown and looks very moist.
