POSITIVE ASPECTS
Our team demonstrated great teamwork and was efficient in the process of data collection. Pep and QQ measured the distance, Sung Ju, collected the water samples, and Sae measured the pH levels. This allowed our team to finish early and preserve energy for the tedious analysing process. The implementation of the microscope with the camera attached allowed effective data processing. By taking screenshots of the displayed image on the screen and sending them to group members, we not only were able to save time but also be more accurate.
POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS
There are several flawed aspects of this investigation, however. First of all, the distance which plays a crucial role in the data processing is not as accurate as we hoped for. As the lake does not have an straight edge, there is a high inaccuracy in the measurements. In addition to that, we did not regulate the distance from the shore which we collected and measured the water from and the dirt pH. Furthermore, we did not investigate the content of the water canal and the actual reason for the stench ; a factor which may have affected the population of microorganisms. In addition to that, as we had limited supply of containers (5), we could only collect 5 samples. one from each location. This may have affected the accuracy of the data as there is not enough data. Lastly, we only collected samples from the left side of the water inlet, leaving space for ambiguity regarding the pH and microorganisms on the right side.
Possible improvements include the following : Regulations on the depth and the distance from the shore of the water sample and the pH data collected. Increased intervals (every 50 meters) and collecting samples from both sides of the water inlet at more frequent intervals. Lastly, to find a way to minimise the uncertainty in the distance such as using google maps and pre determine locations to be precise.
