Friday: aquatic invertebrates

On Friday we retrieved the leaf packs we made on Monday, and collected water samples from a pond to do a GLOBE macroinvertebrates investigation with guest scientist Dr. Elena Sparrow.

We sorted the invertebrates... We found lots of mosquito larvae but also some of the dragonfly nymphs that like to eat them! We learned that fresh leaves catch more invertebrates than old leaves.

We ended the day at Hotlicks Icecream! (Luckily our camp leaders like icecream, too....)
