In this five hour program students will examine the water quality of several outdoor sites and use the scientific method to form a hypothesis. These junior scientists will conduct water quality tests, collect aquatic insects, identify insects as bioindicators, and interpret data in order to draw a conclusion regarding the health of a freshwater ecosystem. We use real live stream (Lonzo/Marshall Creek) and on-site ponds as teaching tools!
