Aquatic Ecology

Aquatic ecology examines how all things in aquatic ecosystems are connected.  Through chemical, biological, and physical water testing, we introduce students to the aquatic environment. They'll hunt for aquatic macro invertebrates, measure the rate at which a stream flows, and test for levels of dissolved oxygen.  Throughout each activity, students learn how to think critically about what their findings might imply about the health of the environment they're exploring.
