  1. Protists in the Campus Pond Joanna Wang Biology 197

  2. Methods • Joanne, Victoria and I went to the campus pond on Monday to get samples • We switched roles between taking pictures, recording location/time, and actually going into the pond • In the pond, we tried our best to getsamples from where the water met the soil. It was a chilly and duck- filled process!

  3. In the next few slides, I have included pictures of the locations where we obtained the samples, pictures of the contents of our samples (taken under the microscope), and the possible identity of my protists. • Admittedly, most of my pictures are just of debris. I did not observe much movement under the microscope. The few times I did, however, I was too slow in changing from microscope lens to camera lens. Next time, I would try adding a slowing agent to get better pictorial results. • Regardless, I added in the pictures that looked most interesting to me. Enjoy!

  7. Location #2 – Vial #6 • This piece was actually spinning in circles when I viewed it under the microscope. • However, I was skeptical about whether it actually is a protist or just being influenced by the moving water on my slide
