Stream Water Monitoring At Your Local Stream

---

Participants can expect: 

This program takes place at your local stream.

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.
