Problems that arised during the investigation

First problem that i had was went i first collected my soil samples and forgot to bring a permanent marker instead i had to use a pen that faded. Then for water samples i also forgot the permanent marker and i had to use a key to mark the numbers on the top of the lid.

When taking the water samples i also came across a problem because i took a water sample from the main pond in the Botanical gardens and before i read a sign to watch out for the eels. I then took a lot a caution after reading that sign and took my water samples very quickly.

Also being a boarding it was hard to go out and collect the samples because the boarding staff must of believed that we were doing something else. To over come this problem we i had to get 3 people to come with me and collect the water and soil samples.

Another problem was carrying the water and soil samples around the park this is why i did not take the water samples from varies places because it was just to hard with nerve damage in one shoulder carrying 4 times 1.5L of water around was pretty hard.
