Biodiversity of terrestrial macroinvertebrates at South Doyle Middle School:
On 9/14/2022 6th grade students observed the following macroinvertebrates in the graph to the left.
Soil pH: 8.0 healthy range
Air Temperature: 78 degrees F
Most students felt the biodiversity was "good" because there were a good amount of species present. One 6th grade student said it was good because, "there were enough species for an ecosystem." Students suggested adding bird feeders out as the temperatures cool to provide more food for animals.
The observations shined a great light on the ecosystem of SDMS “backyard” allowing students to witness, and learn about the glorious world of nature, and the creatures within it.” - 8th grade student
