You notice green scum floating on the surface of a pond. How can you tell whether these organisms are plants?

Examine the scum. Touch it, what texture does it have? Does it move away from your hand when it touches the water? If it is algae, it should feel slimy and spongy. It shouldn't move away from your hand, instead it should wrap around your fingers and hand. Also, plants chloroplasts are green which can be another indicator that it is a plant. Look at it then try and find pictures of algae that might look the similar. If you find a picture that looks the same and it IS an algae, then the scum is a plant.

How many square feet of surface on a sphere?

The answer depends on the size of the sphere. When you've been around as long as we have, you start to notice that big spheres have more surface, and small ones have less surface. But whether the sphere is big or small, its surface in square feet is always 12.5664 times the square of its radius in feet.

What cause pearling of water in aquarium?

Transient "pearling" (drops of water resting on the water surface without merging with it) is the result of two forces: hydrophobicity of materials floating at the water surface, and the surface tension of the water itself. Generally speaking, various proteins and minerals disolved in the water can increase the surface tension, and bacteria, fatty acids, and certain proteins living on the water surface will increase the hydrophobicity there. You'll notice that there's more peraling in a tank where the water has been there a while as compared to one where the water is fresh.
