The Wolves spent Wednesday afternoon splashing around in the familiar waters of Ralston Creek. Oh how we missed our muddy Wednesdays! On this first trip, students worked in teams to create habitat assessments of the area. Using math and science skills, they determined the length of riparian zones, number of microhabitats, types of stream banks at the stream transect and stream reach, and much, much more! We're now moving on to discussing parameters for water quality including nitrogen, phosphorus, dissolved oxygen, and pH tests. If the weather continues to stay warm, we'll spend Wednesday afternoon collecting water samples so that we begin testing water quality at the creek.
