paramecia swimming around in a sample of pond water collected from the pond next to Baxter Hall (collected at 6:00 pm 4/10/19 in a test tube)
paramecia: domain eukaryote, size: .25 mm (guessed it was paramecia based on appearance)
foldscope lens magnification: 140x
Some possible questions: are there any other forms of life in the sample? (observe more slides) are paramecia thriving in this pond water?
I could look into this by collecting more samples and seeing if the organism is actually a paramecia by comparing it to known samples.
