Part 1: Water Sample Collection for Measurement According to GLOBE Principles 1. Survey and determine sample collection points in Somdet Phra Srinagarindra 95 Public Park (Khao Pae Choi), Trang Province. Three sample collection points are established. 2. Measure water temperature using a thermometer at a depth of 10 centimeters, wait for 5 minutes, then read and record the value. 3. Measure the pH value of the water using pH paper. Read and record the value. 4. Measure water transparency using a Secchi disk. Immerse it into the water at three points, three times at each point then read and record the value. 5. Measure the dissolved oxygen (DO) level by testing the collected water sample with an oxygen test kit then read and record the value. Part 2: Plankton Sample Collection for Study 1.Collect plankton samples for the study of plankton species. 2.Collect plankton samples using a plankton net and a water sample bottle. 3.Study plankton species using a microscope to identify different plankton species. Part 3: Air Measurement 1. Measure air temperature using a thermometer, read and record the value. 2. Study cloud cover by calculating the average from four individuals, then record the result. Analysis and Summary of Research Results 1.Analyze and compare the relationships of the data using statistical methods, including water temperature, pH value, water transparency, and dissolved oxygen. 2.Create graphs to show the average data comparisons. 3.Summarize the experimental results.
The study of water quality that affects the diversity of plankton from water sources in the bua pond at Somdej Phra Srinakarin Park 95 (Khao Pae Choi), Trang Province, Thailand, has the objective 1. To study the water quality that affects the diversity of plankton from the water source in the bua pond at Somdej Phra Srinakarin 95 Park (Khao Pae Choi), Trang Province and to study the types of plankton from the water source in the bua pond at Somdej Phra Srinakarin 95 Park (Khao Pae Choi), Trang Province by studying the physical characteristics, It was found that the physical water quality of the lotus pond area has an average pH of 6.67±0.58, the average temperature 27.67±0.33, the average water transparency is 51.09±22.59 cm. And the average dissolved oxygen value (DO) is 6.09±0.09. It was found that water has a normal level of oxygen content. The clouds cover can be divided into 4 types.The stratus clouds have the most average of 25.14, followed by Cumulus clouds with an average of 21.5%. Stratocumulus clouds have an average of 14.45% and the least Altostratus with an average of 10.92%. The study of plankton types found that the bua swamp area can classify 16 types of plankton, including Micrasterias. Sp., Monactinus simplex, Euglena sp., Desmodesmus tropicus, Dictyosphaerium granulatum, Monactinus simplex, Cymbella sp., Peraneme sp., Lepocinclis spirogyroides, Volvox sp., Vorticella sp., Paramecium spp. Which is found in a variety of plankton, protozoa, cyanobacteria and animal embryos.
