Conclusion:
My Hypothesis was not accurate with my studies. Underneath my Microscope, I found Nine different types of Plankton here on South Maui.
The Plankton that I found are:
Polychaete Worm Larva
Older Larval Crab
Spiratella
Hyperiid Amphipods
Calarius
Mysis
Naupilii
Calanoid J.
Asterolampra

Lab Procedure:
conventional microscope:
1. place 10 drops of plankton water in to each depresion
2. place a drop of the magic slow liquid in to each depresion
3. plug microscope in to wall socket and turn on lite
4. place samples under microscope
5. using the smallest magnification (10x) adjust the stage using the black nobs on the side till sample area is clear
6. once in focus sketch plankton in your journal
7. identify plankton using marine i.d. books
8. record number of diferent plankton species from your sample in to your book
Pro scope:
1. cover the botom of sample dish in plankton water and insert 2 drops of the slowing solution
2. plug pro scope in to computer and make sure the lense is attached corectly
3. select the pro scope's program from the start menu and initiate it
4. attatch pro scope to its stand using the black screw
5. adjust inclination of the proscope till the end of the lense is in the liquid
6. using slight adjustments with your hands to manipulate the angle of the pro scope, adjust the focus
7. once in focus sketch plankton in your journal
8. identify plankton using marine i.d. books
9. record number of diferent plankton species from your sample in to your book
