Plankton are tiny organisms found in freshwater and marine environments that are unable to swim against water currents. The experiment aimed to observe plankton samples collected from a lake using a plastic bottle. Observations found various plankton including voratum and amphidinium carterae. Calculations determined the average phytoplankton count per sample and estimated counts in larger volumes. The results and types of plankton indicated the water body was polluted according to plankton composition.

Any creatures that are non-motile and unable to swim against the flow of water are referred to as planktons and can be found in both freshwater and marine environments. All ocean ecosystems contain marine plankton, which is essential for preserving the harmony and health of the ocean and its intricate food webs. Both the food we eat and the air we breathe are supported by the oxygen, nutrients, and biomass they create. It was interesting to see tiny beings under the water that are making food and even able to change human life. It was interesting to see how fast they move, and they have colorful bodies. We collected samples from a lake. The first method was collecting the pond water using a plastic bottle, we used this method because most of the lakes have different zooplankton and extensively prey on them because they devour the bacteria and algae that make up the foundation of the food web. First, we look at the samples that were in the lab itself and it was voratum, amphidinium carterae, and after that, we looked at the samples that were taken from the lake, these were the same beings and some of them were moving very fast. This is the calculation of the plankton, and the result of our experiment is that the water body is polluted according to the construction of plankton.
Average = 47.25 phytoplankton in sample
For gride = 47.25*9 = 425.25 In 100 micro l = 0.42525ml In 500 ml = 212.625 ml 0./m/= 0.42525 ml 500 ml = 0.42525/0.1*500
