Stream Water Monitoring

---

1.5 hours

Students will measure turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature at the stream and discuss the importance of each. Then students will collect macroinvertebrates and calculate a biotic index. These basic measurements will give insight into the water quality of the stream. We can bring the stream to your classroom if you don't have access to a site.
