 This video shows a small organism moving in the top left corner by a green mass.


 This sample was taken from the turtle pond on 4/10/19 at 6:20 pm using a pipette.


 c. What is the moving organism? We can approach this question by googling some of its characteristics along with the fact that it was seen in pond water through a microscope.


 What is the green mass? This can be answered by a combination of google and by collecting more samples from the turtle pond for further observation and testing.

 This image shows pollen grains from a Hibiscus plant under a microscope. The grains are egg-shaped and have small, spike-like protrusions coming out of them.


 The sample was obtained at 9:20 pm on 5/7/19 in front of Page House on Caltech at Latitude 34.1371 and Longitude -118.1234


 The sample was obtained by plucking a stamen from the flower. The slide was prepared by removing the anther and placing it on the slide then covering.


 Given that the flower has 5 petals and the color of the petals is yellow on the outside and red near the center, I believe that the species of this plant is
 
 Hibiscus brackenridgei.
