If you have Power Point, you most likely have Excel.

How about keeping it relatively simple: Date across the top, other
parameters down the side?

Or go to the local office supply store & buy an accounting ledger. Figure
out what info you want to record, write it down, transfer it to Excel.

Come to think of it, my directions are probably reversed!
Unless you take your laptop computer to the pond with you (don't laugh!),
start by buying paper large enough to write down everything you want to
track.

Then, if you want to get some sense of a "trend" you can enter the info into
Excel and make a *chart* (besides, charts are the most fun I ever had with
Excel!) Okay, so it wasn't all that much fun -- but when I lived in
northern VT on a Christmas tree farm, I tracked rainfall. With Excel, even
a duffer like me could create a chart that showed me comparative rainfall
(by month) for various years.

Another thought: you might look for a "gardener's journal" as the set-up is
much the same, plus they usually have lots of room for notes.
